Text alerts don't work. Gov websites are poorly designed and don't work on mobile. Local media wants to sell you beer. Facebook wants to show you a post from nine days ago about someone's dog. YOU CANNOT STAY INFORMED PASSIVELY. Be ACTIVE and seek out info if you're in the path of a fire. Check on folks and ask that they check on you.</p>

You're in charge. And it's time to take that seriously, because these fires are no joke.</p>
