Fire management professionals across multiple countries advocate evacuation as the safest action residents can take when threatened by a wildfire. However, existing research notes that while some residents may opt to evacuate to a safer place, others may choose alternatives to evacuation, including staying and actively defending their property from fire or passively sheltering in place inside a structure or open area. Residents living in fore-prone landscapes often indicate that they have given thought to their intended actions during wildfire and demonstrate preferences for some actions over others depending on the context of the particular fire event and its associated risk.
