Northern California, I know it’s hard to believe, but we are still in wildfire season.
PSPS shutoffs. Fires. And in a few weeks, the anniversary of the Camp Fire. Every year, this time of year sits a little heavier on my chest.
I’m a wildfire survivor. I still remember the panic of trying to decide what mattered in a matter of minutes.
I made sure to grab the shoes for my sister’s wedding. But my clothes? I grabbed random things from my closet that I didn’t even like. Things I never wore. And when you’ve lost your sense of normal, putting on clothes that don’t feel like you hurts more than you’d think.
You don’t think clearly in that moment. Nobody does. That’s why I’m asking you to think about it now, while you can.
Swipe through for what I learned the hard way, as a survivor and as an estate planning attorney:
1️⃣ Just go. Don’t wait.
2️⃣ Have a plan.
3️⃣ Keep a go bag ready.
4️⃣ Grab the clothes you actually wear, even if it’s the laundry hamper.
5️⃣ Review and update your insurance. Now, not after.
6️⃣ Protect your estate plan so your family can find it.
Your house can be rebuilt. Your things can be replaced. You can’t.
Please don’t wait until the smoke is in the sky to be ready.
