Emergency Preparedness in Woodside Hills
In our community, we take preparedness seriously. It's not a huge task that needs to be undertaken all at once. It's a simple list of small things that you can do over time. When you are ready for all the little things that can go wrong, you are ready for the day when they all go wrong at once.
We have a team of volunteers working to organize our neighborhoods, to make them strong and safe.
We focus on three main areas.
Below is our Firewise USA Certificate of Recognition and our Firewise Community map.
This is what insurers will want to see.

We are a Firewise USA recognized site. This gives us a framework to manage our wildfire risks, and work together as a community to reduce them. Most home ignitions are caused by wind-borne embers. And most homes, once ignited, burn to the ground.

Most of the successful arrests for home burglaries have been greatly aided by active Neighborhood Watch groups, and individual residents who have installed security cameras watching the street. If you don't have an active Neighborhood Watch program in your neighborhood, please contact us at the email address below. We will help you get going.
