This was really made a point in the 2019 season in NSW, AUS, when we experienced the worst fires ever.
The NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) has an app that notifies you of fires and their handling of them on your phone, in real time, with warnings if evacs are recommended. If the RFS gives a first stage 'Watch and act' alert, that is the time to retrieve the plan and prepare as per the list...pretty much the embodiment of the Boy Scout motto..Be Prepared
