Summary
Wildfires don’t just burn homes—they burn lives long after the flames are out. New research from Edmonton reveals evacuees face crushing, often invisible struggles: displaced for months or years, stuck in hotels or campers with no clear path home, especially hurting renters, seniors, and low-income families. Lost documents, lack of income support, and kids without school disrupt recovery. Even in cities, the stress of unfamiliar surroundings compounds trauma. Years later, PTSD triggers linger. The fix? Better coordination between agencies, easier access to mental health and income aid, and targeted support for children. As fires grow more common, this support system can’t wait.
