Wildfires are usually triggered by lightning or accidents and often go unnoticed at first. They can spread quickly and are incredibly destructive if they occur near forests, rural areas, remote mountain sites, and other woodland settings where people live. While not reported as often as floods, tornadoes, and severe storms, they, too, can cause emotional distress in people living in affected areas.

This is a SAMHSA document that offers various resources for people affected by wildfires regarding safety for themselves, their families, and their animals.
