Wildfire Alerts – Ready for Fire Season - July 1, 2025

As we prepare for the Wildfire season, the Washington State Office of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (ODHH) encourages everyone to plan ahead to take precautions and prepare for potential evacuations that may occur in specific areas of the state.  We also encourage you to plan an emergency kit for you and your family.  Below are some suggestions to consider:


* Register for National Weather Service app - iNWS Mobile Alerting [ [link removed] ]
* Watch Duty fire App on either Apple store or Android app download. watchduty.org [ [link removed] ]. Watch Duty app shows map of the wildfires.

* Drought declaration in certain areas will trigger utility companies to do planned outages. Contact your local utility or electric company to register for notifications in the event of planned and emergency power outages.
