I recommend looking at #Australian #Bushfire preparedness as we have regular catastrophic #wilfire including royal commissions and postmortems.
Some of the key differences.
1. Leave early. Or risk getting stuck in a traffic jam in a firestorm. Catastrophic fires move fast and the fire embers restarting fires move 20+ kilometers.
2. Find out if your community has a wildfire refuge, it maybe as simple as a sports grounds
3. You can increase your chances of surviving a firefront, burnover (cover in place) if you miss you leave windowhttps://www.cfs.sa.gov.au/plan-prepare/before-a-fire-be-prepared/make-a-plan/5-minute-bushfire-plan/
Here are a couple of classics bushfire scenarios from Australian fire crews that show just how terrible, fast firefront is and how it goes from ok to death in 2 minutes, both crews survived, we have great firetrucks and training thanks to past tragedies when we didn't.

Hot+wind change=superbad, worst case 90degree wind change. You have a firefront of 1km moving north that's been burning for 10km...Wind changes by 90 deg...now you have a firefront of 10km.
