The three victims have been identified as Ernest Foss, 65, of Paradise, Jesus Fernandez, 48, of Concow, and Carl Wiley, 77, of Magalia.

A lot of elderly in managed care were evacuated to other facilities and it took some time to connect them with their families. I suspect that there's going to be unfortunately a lot of elderly who will be found dead or presumed dead, over 25% of the town was over 65, according to this article.
