Wildfire support center
When a wildfire breaks out, staying informed means keeping your home and family safe, and VIU by HUB is here to help you stay one step ahead.
Preparing for a wildfire
- Prepare your emergency kits
Make one kit for evacuation and one for sheltering in place. Include essentials like water, non-perishable food, medications, first aid supplies, important documents and chargers.
- Make a wildfire evacuation plan
Review your plan with all household members, including where to go and how to stay connected in the event of a wildfire.
- Review your insurance coverage
Make sure your insurance policy includes fire protection and covers your home, belongings and potential additional living expenses.
