How do we create a better warning and communication system for people and emergency teams?

The Camp Fire, California's deadliest wildfire, witnessed critical communication breakdowns and a lack of situational understanding, resulting in 85 fatalities. Similar challenges were evident in disasters like the Lihaina Maui fire (101 lives lost) and the Derna Libya flash flood (11,300 fatalities). Enhancing warning systems and EMS understanding is crucial to prevent such losses in the future.
