Preparar a sus mascotas para emergencias es una parte esencial de su plan general de preparación ante desastres. Aquí hay algunas medidas importantes para ayudar a mantenerlas seguras:

• Prepare un kit de emergencia para mascotas: Incluya suficiente comida y agua para varios días, un botiquín de primeros auxilios para mascotas, los medicamentos necesarios y una fotografía de usted con su mascota para fines de identificación.

• Cree un plan de evacuación: Sepa cómo transportará a sus mascotas en caso de evacuación. También es recomendable establecer un “sistema de apoyo” con un vecino de confianza que pueda rescatar a sus mascotas si usted no está en casa cuando ocurra una emergencia.

• Manténgase informado y actúe con anticipación: Esté atento a las alertas locales y evacúe con tiempo para garantizar una salida tranquila y segura para toda su familia, incluidas sus mascotas.

Preparing your pets for emergencies is an essential part of your overall disaster plan.

Here are a few key steps to ensure your pets stay safe:

• Pack a pet emergency kit: Include a multi-day supply of food and water, a pet first-aid kit, necessary medications, and a photo of you with your pet for identification purposes.
• Create an evacuation plan: Know how you will transport your pets during an evacuation. It is also wise to set up a "buddy system" with a neighbor who can rescue your pets if you are not home when disaster strikes.
• Stay informed and act early: Monitor local alerts and evacuate ahead of time to ensure a calm, safe departure for your entire family.

A medida que los días se vuelven más calurosos y empezamos a esperar con entusiasmo eventos al aire libre como bodas, graduaciones y parrilladas, recuerde que su cuerpo necesita tiempo para adaptarse a las temperaturas más altas. Este proceso de adaptación (aclimatación) generalmente toma entre 7 y 14 días.

No es necesario que haya una ola de calor de más de 100 grados para que el calor afecte su salud. Incluso temperaturas moderadas pueden ser peligrosas si su cuerpo aún no se ha acostumbrado al calor, especialmente cuando hay mucha humedad o si tiene alguna condición médica preexistente.

Por eso, tómese un tiempo para aclimatarse antes de asistir a estos eventos.

Consejos para ayudarle a comenzar el proceso de aclimatación:

• Tómelo con calma. Este es un proceso de varios días en el que debe exponerse gradualmente a temperaturas más cálidas.
• Limite el tiempo que pasa al aire libre cuando sea posible, especialmente al comienzo del proceso.
• Trate de evitar el sol del mediodía. Las primeras horas de la mañana y las tardes son las mejores para estar afuera.
• Manténgase bien hidratado.
• Vigile de cerca a sus seres queridos que tienen mayor riesgo de sufrir emergencias relacionadas con el calor.
• Si deja de aclimatarse durante varios días, comience el proceso nuevamente desde el principio.

As the days get hotter, and we begin to look forward to outdoor events like weddings, graduations, and barbeques, remember that it takes time for our bodies to adjust to the warmer temperatures (acclimate). The adaptation process takes about 7-14 days for your body to gradually adjust. It doesn’t take a triple-digit heatwave to affect your health. Even moderate heat, if your body isn't used to it yet, can be dangerous- especially paired with high humidity, or pre-existing medical conditions. So… take some time to acclimate prior to these events.

Here are a few tips to help you begin the acclimation process:

• Take it slow, this is a multiple day process where you gradually expose yourself to warmer temperatures
• Limit your outdoor time, when possible, especially in the beginning of the process
• Try to avoid the midday sun. Early mornings and evenings are your friends
• Stay Hydrated
• Keep a close eye on loved ones who are at high risk of heat related emergencies
• If you miss a few days of acclimation, start the process over

Notice to Brooktrails and Sherwood Road Corridor Residents

As part of Mendocino County’s Wildfire Community Resilience Project, LiDAR acquisition flights are scheduled to take place June 2–5, weather permitting. This important project is funded through FEMA’s Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program.

Residents may notice low-flying aircraft in the area collecting LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data. This advanced mapping technology uses laser pulses to create highly detailed images of terrain and vegetation.

The data collected will help guide:
Fuels reduction planning
Structure hardening initiatives
Defensible space improvements
Evacuation route enhancements

Thank you for your patience and support as we continue working to strengthen wildfire resilience and improve community safety throughout Mendocino County.
