California is “infamous for earthquakes, mudslides, and wildfires” despite its pleasant weather conditions and landscapes, according to the California Highway Patrol (CHP).
Due to the recent fire in Santa Clarita, the CHP – Southern Division has created a list of necessary safety precautions to take in case of an emergency.
The highway patrol emphasizes being aware of “possible hazards in your area”, creating an emergency plan and having an accessible emergency kit.
The CHP stresses that you take these necessary steps as soon as possible in order to feel more comfortable in emergency situations.
