In the East Bay, wildfires remain a constant threat. Recent events like the Palisades and Eaton Fires in Los Angeles County are powerful reminders of how quickly disaster can strike. One of the most effective ways to prepare is by building community resilience—planning and learning together with your neighbors.
Red Oak Realty invites you to join our free fire hardening and emergency preparedness sessions. Now is the perfect time to create an evacuation plan and ensure your household is ready for anything. These sessions cover essential topics, including:
- Understanding home insurance cancellations
- Forming firewise communities
- Creating a family emergency plan
- Organizing vital documents and go bags
- Knowing where your local emergency venue is located
- Staying aware and informed with the best alert tools
- Living in a fire dependent landscape
- Preventing loss from wildfire
- Discerning the science behind vegetation management
- Understanding modern construction codes and bringing older housing stock up to code
