The devastating effects of a wildfire are not just limited to rural, wooded, grassy areas.  These types of fires also affect urban developed areas, especially those that experience warm, dry weather conditions, and are populated with trees, brush, and dry grass. To prepare employees and facilities for a wildfire emergency, organizations must have an active business continuity plan in place that is reviewed annually, updated, and communicated to employees. In addition to this plan, it is important to know what actions to take during and after a wildfire event.
