About
The Mountain View Fire Protection District urges its citizens to be prepared. Please note the following tips for being able to support yourself and / or family when faced with a disaster or other such emergency when help may be a long time in coming.

Get an Emergency Kit
The kit should have the basic necessities your family or business will need to continue functioning as normally as possible. Keep your kit in an accessible place. And have a special kit in your car for roadside problems.

Your preparedness kits should include:

Cash or traveler's checks A change of clothing Extra batteries First-aid kit Flashlights Food and water for three days

Hygiene needs Paper and pencil for recording important information or leaving notes Playing cards or books to relieve stress Prescription medications Special needs items for infants, elderly or others

Don't forget pets either. Make sure you have food, leashes, and pet carriers available.
