Returning Home After a Wildfire Quick Guide
The end of an evacuation order does not mean every property is free from hazards. Watch for unstable structures, hot spots, damaged gas and electric systems, contaminated water, ash, sharp debris, spoiled food, and emotional stress. Children, pregnant people, and people with heart or lung disease should avoid ash cleanup. Use damp methods, appropriate protective equipment, official disposal instructions, and professional remediation when structures burned.
