Ivins · Washington County
Red Cliffs Ready
Planning for the difficult… while it’s still easy.
The family handbook, rebuilt. Heat, flash flood, wildfire, quake, and the ordinary three days the power is out. Keep it on the fridge.
Start here
Three things, then everything else is practice.
- 01
People
Names, medicines, an out-of-area number, and two meeting places. Write it. Print it. Put it on the fridge.
Open - 02
Water
One gallon per person per day — more in July. Heat is the hazard that actually shows up here.
Open - 03
Three days
A bag by the door for each person, plus food that does not need the grid. That covers most of it.

What actually happens here
Extreme heat
The most likely killer in Washington County summer.
Flash flood & monsoon
Washes and slot canyons can rise in minutes, often from rain you cannot see.
Wildfire
Red-flag days, dry fuels, and wind.
Earthquake
Utah sits on active faults. Drop, cover, and hold on.
Power outage
Heat, medical devices, and food all depend on electricity.
Lightning & high wind
Monsoon cells build fast over the mesas.
