Fire/EMS/ERs/disasters, etc.

Keep your gas tank full so that you can escape whichever direction is not wrecked.

Actually, we do that - but there are remarkably few ways out. If the big one is north of here, say LA, the 15 might be OK north toward San Bernardino, or the 8 might work going toward Arizona, but that's about it. The only other alternatives are basically two-lane mountain roads, fine in the Jeep, but not suitable for a coach. Going south into Mexico is pretty much impossible even now on a good day. If the damage is here and you want to go north, you've got the 5 and... the 5.

Got it, but it's not like we're talking nuclear attack, zombie apocalypse or alien invasion. You only need to make it to working gas stations and, eventually, undamaged grocery stores. Otoh, if the road/s immediately out of your RV park are broken, you're screwed after your water/food run out.

Good point.

Western Canada blazes cause evacuation orders, air quality concerns
Thousands of residents in British Columbia were evacuated Sunday, and some residents in Alberta have been asked to prepare to leave.


Smoke rises from a wildfire in the Grande Prairie Forest Area near TeePee Creek in Alberta, Canada, on Friday.

... The federal government has warned Canada faces another “catastrophic” wildfire season as it forecast higher-than-normal spring and summer temperatures across much of the country, boosted by El Nino weather conditions.

Canada experienced one of its warmest winters with low to non-existent snow in many areas, raising fears ahead of a hot summer triggering blazes in forests and wildlands amid an ongoing drought.

New normal?
