    Apparently some of the Portland protestors in summer 2020 dropped their protest activities during the wildfire evacuations and instead set up ad hoc mutual aid networks to distribute supplies and help families and individuals get out of evacuated areas. That might serve as a good model, especially if the evacuation pathways could build upon the already existing organizing work that might still remain in those areas.

    By the way, while these protestors were setting up rescue networks, small groups of chuds grabbed their rifles and posted up "roadblocks" at key locations on the highways under the pretext of "detaining arsonists." So this evacuation pathway would obviously have to include armed defense with as much training as possible.
