Subject: RE: Mandatory Evacuations.I agree that "mandatory evacuations" are unenforceable, and I agree that you should be prepared, as best you can, to take care of your family and yourself. That being said, once that order is given, you may truly find yourself alone if it all goes to hell. I've worked a number of security details, after natural disasters, protecting power company's equipment and people.....and I've seen quite a few otherwise strong people reduced to helpless wrecks when that thing they didn't count on hits them in the face, and there are no resources available to help them. It's a personal call but should not be taken lightly......the reason those orders are given is basically to grant immunity to govt. agencies (police, fire, EMS, etc) who MAY NOT (read - likely will not) be coming to your aid just because you call. As long as you get that part, by all means, carry on! Edited by Left Brain 2019-09-02 6:30 AM
