Wildfire Safety & Evacuation Awareness

Wildfire is a part of Poway's natural ecology and history has demonstrated that fire periodically affects the region. The City's climate, vegetation, topography, and large amount of open space puts the community at risk for wildfires.

Learn how to better protect your home and your family from wildfire including low-cost retrofits to harden your home, best practices for creating defensible space within your ornamental landscaping, and what to do before, during, and after an evacuation.

Advance registration is required through the Community Services program. Visit poway.org for more information
