Fire season is upon us again and the first Santa Ana winds are predicted for tomorrow. I hope everyone is considering preparedness as I am. For me, it means brush clearing, tree trimming and notification. During the last fire storm in Valley Center, I was alerted by the reverse 911 system and received a recorded message around 5am that my area was being evacuated. The system worked perfectly for me. It alerted me on my home phone which rests within immediate reach beside my bed.
Land lines are already in the system as it utilizes the 911 database. But, if you don't have a land line, as many no longer do, you may not receive this potentially life-saving call. The County of San Diego has made it possible to receive an email or a call on your cell phone, but you have to visit the AlertSanDiego page of the County website to register that contact information. There is a lot of other valuable preparedness information on the site as well.
So, here's wishing you, your family and friends a safe and uneventful fire season. But, it never hurts to be prepared.
Please do not hesitate to call on me for all your real estate needs. It is always my pleasure to be of service.
