Rosen Lake Strata residents can learn more about wildfire mitigation at an information session on July 20.

It will take place at the Strata Main Beach at 1 p.m.

The discussion will focus on how to protect your property from fire and the neighbourhood recognition program which brings neighbours together to address threats.

RDEK communications coordinator Lindsay McMahon says it’s also important that residents have an evacuation plan ready.

“People will want to make sure that they have a plan for their family if they need to leave their home,” she said.

“Where they are going to go, what they’re going to do and they want to be able to build a kit of important stuff to take with them.”

She said residents should pack any important documents and basic necessities like batteries flashlights, water and blankets.

A chipping event is also planned for Rosen Lake residents. The date has yet to be finalized.
