The Good to Go! program is designed to help you create your personal evacuation plan. In a series of six Good to Go! modules, you will learn how to get ready, stay informed, evacuate and return from wildfire.
From 2019- 2021, Diablo FireSafe Council worked with a leadership team of residents, supported by the Alameda County Fire Department and the Santa Clara Unit of Cal Fire to develop this pilot program for Sunol. Funding was provided by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection as part of the California Climate Investments Program.
The resources below also provide a toolbox on how to create a community program that can leverage individual family plans.
