Rumours and misinformation spread faster than wildfires do. In emergency situations it's more important than ever to ensure you are relying on accurate and trustworthy information.

📱Download our mobile app for up to date information from the source.
📰 Identify your trusted sources before an emergency happens. Look for local news outlets or mailing lists and alerts from your local government.
🚨 Be aware of artificially generated images of wildfires. If it doesn't look quite right, check before you share.
📱Consume social media posts with a critical eye, even unintentional misinformation can spread fast.
