The Sedona Women's March meeting will be chock-full of information to help us learn how to be better prepared for a wildfire emergency in our region. The program will be directed toward individual readiness, and will provide a basic primer on personal responsibility issues in order to be prepared. Topics include:
1. Firewise: residential and business defensibility, making the property around your dwelling or business resistant to fire
2. Being personally ready: • Emergency notification systems • Ready-Set-Go • Basic readiness checklists • Go Bags — binders, essential documents, etc. • Emergency and first-aid supplies, water • Auto/mobility, pets, horses, livestock • Unique aspects to each county
Representatives from the Arizona State Department of Forestry and Fire Management, the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office, the Coconino County Emergency Response Team, the Sedona Fire District, which encompasses both Yavapai and Coconino Counties, and the Sedona Police Department will present guidelines, checklists and detailed individual preparedness information for our Verde Valley residents.
The Arizona State Department of Forestry and Fire Management supports the Firewise USA training program, which educates homeowners on how to protect their homes and communities against wildfires. Matt Rust, North Zone Prevention Captain, and Jacob Richardson, Northern Zone Lead Fire Prevention Officer, will provide insight into the Firewise program and the best structured approach toward property defensibility.
Steve Brazell, Yavapai Sheriff’s Office Public Affairs Officer, will address personal wildfire emergency preparedness and will bring checklists, information and resources for Yavapai County residents.
Alan Anderson, Coconino Emergency Team (CERT) Coordinator, will present the Coconino County fire preparedness guidelines and recommendations for residents.
Sedona Fire District Chief, Ed Mezulis, a 25-year Sedona Fire District veteran, will present insights and recommendations for what each one of us can do to be prepared for wildfire. Sedona Police Chief, Stephanie Foley, will address how the police department will coordinate and assist the Sedona Fire District and the regional offices responsible for fire management.
These agency representatives will help us understand our personal ability to be prepared for wildfire emergency.
