What happens during a wildfire evacuation? (lemmy.ca)

I've looked into moving somewhere affordable, but it seems to be an area prone to wildfires and was evacuated for such recently.

What happens during an evacuation? Where do you go? Who covers the cost it's a hotel or something, or do people find their own accommodations? What kind of damage can you expect from smoke when you return home if it is still standing? Anything else unexpected that comes from this?

Thanks

Don't know for sure. But my brother in law hosted a friend and his live stock in Lake Stevens (suburbs) when Index, WA was evacuated a couple years ago. It was wild. Anywho, I got the impression it was all self-orchestrated and funded.
