As of October 19, 2021, eighty-seven percent of the state was categorized as experiencing extreme drought, with no parts of the state being considered drought-free.

Members located in danger zones are advised to take precautions and create a plan of action should wild res threaten their homes.

As details of the incident have emerged, it has become apparent that this tragedy was a preventable one and serves as a reminder that on-set safety protocols must be adhered to at all times. Members who witness unsafe working conditions must speak up. Report them to both the production team and their local representatives at once. If appropriate action is not taken, and unsafe conditions continue, walk away. No lm, no show, and no project is ever worth the life of a member of the cast or crew. Our hearts go out to Halyna's family, friends, and all those who knew her. IN MEMORIAM CHARLES AJAR – PROJ. October 30, 1950 – September 8, 2021 W. "DANNY" MOORE – PROJ.
