Before I shut up about fire: please listen to me.

The Greater San Diego’s last massive firestorm was 18 years ago. That is more than enough time to create enough fuel for another one. 

Take the time now to prepare- home owners during the next time of precipitation cut back all foliage from your property. 

Figure out routes of escape, at least 2 as one or more could be blocked.

If you have important prescription, stockpile 2 weeks worth over time. (Great tip from @MeganMarieInSD). This is for everyone in this house hold and pets.

Make sure all important docs are secured and able to be moved very quickly. 

HEED ANY AND ALL EVACUATION ORDERS GIVEN BY OFFICIALS: I completely understand that there is a want to stay to protect what’s yours, absolutely understandable. However at the end of the day your life is worth more than your home. And even more so the firefighter or official you endanger by staying home, is far more important than your home.
