RED - Alert, take immediate action
Well, it's no surprise, the County has put severe immediate restrictions onto the burn ban. I will try to get a copy of the article pasted here. But in the meantime check with the authorities. The basic limits are: no open fires. The only fires allowed are charcoal grills.
More to come. We will send the official notice out through all of our Fox Island media channels.
Does our weather seem unusually dry to you? Well it is. We've had much less than the normal May and June rain. A major concern by your Fox Island Emergency Preparedness Team is wildfires.
Check out the film clip 'Your Home can survive a Wildfire'. The link to that is back on the Home Page.
The next season of PBS's 'Weathered' has begun. As mentioned in this space before, there are several quick (10 minute) updates on several subjects that are of importance to us on Fox Island.
They are on PBS’s ‘Weathered’ series and they are good for all – mom, dad, and the kids, too (as parents see fit). Here are our picks, so far as we have worked through the first 2 seasons: Season 1, episodes 1,5,6,7. Season 2, episodes1,4,7,8. Stream them if you can and send a comment to this website letting us know your opinion of its value to you. You can also advise us of any good emergency programs and/or prep material that you discover and believe will help us secure our safety in a major catastrophe.
Don’t forget to check out the 'Prepare in a Year' monthly advice column each month, or by topic, for 2025. The month of July will be advising on fire safety. There are several ways to improve your protection level.
This is the link to your normal monthly featured content.
