Burn scars from wildfires increase the risk of debris flows, which can destroy homes in their paths. Be aware of your surroundings and stay Weather-Ready by having multiple ways to receive weather alerts. weather.gov/safety/flood
After a wildfire: flash floods and debris flows. Floods and debris flows happen quickly after rainfall. Prepare now! Be aware of your surroundings and stay informed by having multiple ways to receive watches and warnings. Follow any evacuation or other instructions from local officials. If you have to shelter in place, get to the highest point inside your home. Go up, not out!

The ones that you get fruit and veggies in can go in the blue bin. Just make sure they’re empty and free of food first.

Clean clamshells that you get your fruit (like blueberries) or veggies in at the grocery store are good to go in your recycling. For takeout food, it needs to be fairly clean to recycle. It can’t be recycled if it’s coated in food.
