The Marin Wildfire Prevention Authority reviewed available studies to identify practical wildfire evacuation lessons, and sought answers to several questions:

1. What have been the leading causes of civilian fatalities in past wildfire evacuations?
2. What risk factors contributed to those deaths?
3. What are the practical implications for Marin County?

This report draws insights from over 50 studies. It summarizes findings from numerous events, including the 2013 Yarnell Hill Fire in Arizona; the 2016 Chimney Tops 2 Fire in Tennessee; the 2017 Northern California (North Bay) Fires; and the 2018 Camp Fire in Butte County California. It also summarizes assessments from Oregon, Washington State, and fire-prone regions of Australia.
