1 Assess the risks

The first step to prepare for a wildfire is to assess the risks that your logistics operations face. You need to identify the potential sources of ignition, the locations and characteristics of the fuel, the weather patterns and fire behavior, and the exposure and vulnerability of your facilities, vehicles, and staff. You can use tools such as fire risk maps, fire danger ratings, and fire behavior models to evaluate the likelihood and severity of a wildfire in your area. You should also consult with local authorities, fire agencies, and emergency managers to get updated information and guidance.

1. Authenticate that early risk detection, monitoring and warning systems are in place to detect and report situational risk to resident and visiting personnel 24x7x365. 2. Consider collaboratively extending sprinkler capabilities beyond the fenceline with neighbors. 3. Anticipate, shipping survival needs before or after fire season via supply chain infrastructure.

Assess fire risks in the areas of operations, using tools such as fire behaviour models and fire risk maps to ascertain situations. Train team members including truck drivers on basic fire fighting tools usage and provide the tools. Use fire proof covers on your delivery trucks and vans. Keep your warehouse surroundings clean, and clear all fuel away from the warehouse. Maintain rubost relationship with the firefighter agency.

2 Develop contingency plans

The second step to prepare for a wildfire is to develop contingency plans that outline how you will respond to a fire emergency. You need to define the roles and responsibilities of your logistics team, the triggers and procedures for activating and deactivating the plan, the alternative routes and modes of transportation, the backup suppliers and customers, and the recovery and restoration actions. You should also consider the financial, legal, and reputational implications of a wildfire and how you will mitigate them. You should review and update your contingency plans regularly and conduct drills and exercises to test their effectiveness.

Mutual assistance agreements can include supplies, equipment, warehousing and transport and all of those should be included in annual exercises. Annually renewing quick-purchase agreements with suppliers and rental agencies (ex. water trucks, generators, base camp suppliers), and having multiple locations where supplies and equipment can be stored and quickly moved, and those can be quick-leased, so that all warehouses don't need to be filled at all times. Think of all the squares on a chessboard, you only occupy a few at a time, your opponent, the fires, can move quickly and unexpectedly and attack on multiple fronts, but so can you. Maneuvering the right number of resources is better than being unable to manage and maintain too many.

The third step to prepare for a wildfire is to communicate effectively with your internal and external stakeholders. You need to establish clear and consistent channels of communication, such as phone, email, radio, or social media, and use them to share information, coordinate actions, and provide feedback. You should also inform your suppliers, customers, and partners about your contingency plans, expectations, and status. You should monitor the situation and the media closely and adjust your messages accordingly. You should also be transparent and honest about the challenges and opportunities that a wildfire presents.

5 Adapt to changing conditions

The fifth step to prepare for a wildfire is to adapt to changing conditions. You need to be flexible and resilient in your logistics operations and be ready to adjust your plans and actions based on the fire behavior, the weather, the road conditions, and the demand and supply fluctuations. You should also leverage technology and innovation to enhance your logistics performance, such as using drones, sensors, or cloud-based platforms to monitor and manage your operations. You should also seek opportunities to collaborate and cooperate with other logistics providers, emergency responders, and community organizations to share resources, information, and best practices.
