Presenter urges Port Ludlow residents to 'do not wait' and prepare go-bags ahead of wildfire season
Summary
At a PLVC meeting, a presenter and block-captain trainer walked attendees through Nixle alerts, three evacuation levels and recommended assembling a go-bag, urging residents to evacuate early rather than wait for official orders.
A presenter at the Port Ludlow community meeting urged residents to prepare now for wildfires and not wait for official evacuation orders. The presenter, who identified herself as a block-captain trainer and offered monthly "COMMISSION tidbits" at PLVC meetings, walked through alert signups and what to put in a grab-and-go kit.
Context for residents, she said, includes three evacuation levels: Level 1 ("Get Ready"), Level 2 ("Get Set" — voluntary/ready to leave), and Level 3 (evacuate immediately). She recommended signing up for official messages and assembling essential items: documents, phone chargers, extra water and pet supplies. "Do not wait to be told to leave," the presenter said, urging those who see smoke or embers to evacuate early. The presenter also recommended the documentary "Fire in Paradise" as a resource for understanding wildfire risk and preparedness.
