Welcome to WPV-Ready!

WPV-Ready is a program that builds Ready Communities.

A Ready Community is one that has prepared for all the little things that could go wrong in an emergency. If you can manage the little things, you will do well during an emergency of any size.

We help you get through the basics, like having fire extinguishers and a first aid kit, and knowing how to get emergency information.

WPV-Ready makes all of that easy to organize. Let's get you started!

Register for Emergency Alerts
	Register your contact information with SMC Alert: https://www.smcgov.org/dem/smc-alert. Download the Genasys Protect app (used to be Zonehaven) on your smart phone/device to receive evacuation notices and wildfire information in your neighborhood. Register each family member, and update it whenever contact information or addresses change. Learn more at this page: https://www.smcgov.org/dem/genasys-zonehaven.
Join our Announcements Group
	Click on the envelope below to get to our Announcements Group at groups.io. You will be asked to register. Please do!
Find your Neighborhood Leaders
	To find out if your home belongs to an organized community already, use the search tool on our Find My Leaders page. If you are not already in an organized Ready Community, then YOU might be the person who can get the conversation started in your neighborhood. Contact us to find out more at the email or phone number below.
Register on This Website
	If you have not already registered on this website, please register now on our Registration page. Your registration will also get you onto the WPV-Ready announcements group at groups.io, WPV-Ready.groups.io.
Find Out How Prepared You Are
	Use the home assessment tool on the Ready Assessment page to find out what small thing you can do next to become safer. You can also download the assessment PDF  now to get an idea of what we are working on.
Get Our Checklist and Quick-Start Handouts
	Download the checklist and several other useful "1-page handouts" that we use to orient people by visiting our Downloads page.
Get a First Aid Kit
	If you do not already own a GOOD First Aid Kit, we have designed one especially for residents of earthquake country. Learn more on our First Aid Kit page, where you can download the kit contents and advice on keeping a first aid kit fresh, or just go to our store and buy yours today at WPV-Store.org. We will have evacuation Go-Bags available through the store soon as well.
Work with Firewise to Reduce Your Wildfire Risk
	If you want to learn more about wildfire risk and what we are doing to reduce it locally, please visit our Firewise page and make sure your neighborhood is organized as a Firewise site. We will walk you through it.
Learn About Our Fire Department
	You can also learn more about how our Fire Department, the Woodside Fire Protection District (WFPD) is working to use new techniques, tools, and rules to make our district even safer. (Like, don't even think about planting another eucalyptus. We don't do that here anymore.) Visit the WFPD website to learn more.

	Please join us at our monthly WPV-Ready Committee meetings. The schedule, location, and Zoom link can always be found on our Events page.
