Behind the numbers

Families have to leave, then cope throughout the evacuation.

Evacuated families

Households are leaving their homes with little notice and must quickly find a safe place to stay.

Smoke and air quality

Smoke can affect communities far beyond the areas directly threatened by flames.

Prolonged displacement

An evacuation can last several days or longer, with needs continuing after families leave home.

Essential needs

Shelter, food, water, hygiene products, and family support quickly become priorities.

Relief kits, water, and essential supplies prepared for a community response
