PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Follow all fire restrictions. You can find your county`s emergency
sign up form as well as links to fire restrictions at
weather.gov/medford/wildfire. One less spark, one less wildfire.

Be sure you`re signed up for your county`s emergency alert system.
Familiarize yourself with your emergency plan and make sure you
listen to emergency services. Visit ready.gov/plan for more
information.

A red flag warning is issued when we identify weather conditions
that promote rapid spread of fire which may become life-threatening.
This does not mean there is a fire. These conditions are either
occurring now or will begin soon. It is important to have multiple
ways to receive information from authorities.
