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

    NW Montana here. As others have said, shelters are usually setup at the fairgrounds or schools. Insurance would likely cover up to some amount as well but you’d have to talk to your agent.
