About WPV-Ready
Emergency preparedness for the communities of the Woodside Fire Protection District.
What is WPV-Ready?
WPV-Ready helps residents of the Woodside Fire Protection District prepare for the emergencies most likely in our area — wildfire, earthquake, and severe storms. We do this through education, community organizing, and hands-on support.
We focus on practical steps you can take right now: making a plan, preparing your home, building a go-bag, knowing your evacuation routes, and connecting with your neighbors. You do not have to join anything or commit to anything. We welcome anyone interested in emergency preparedness, no matter where you are starting from.
