California Wildfires: The New Normal (Escaping Paradise)
When the Camp Fire ignited, it started a chain of events that allowed it to become the deadliest wildfire in California history, claiming lives in the town of Paradise, California and the surrounding neighborhoods of Concow and Magalia on November 8, 2018. The fire forced the entire population to evacuate at once--an action emergency managers had actively avoided in their plans for handling wildfires. There was no plan to handle an evacuation on this scale. Some people became trapped, oblivious to the evacuation orders that had been issued for their homes. Many had no warning as some notification systems went unused and others failed to reach large groups of people.
