If you think about it these "Mandatory Evacuation Orders" worked.

Evacuation should be determined by your circumstances. I'm OK with the "mandatory" orders, as long as there's no legal penalty for ignoring it. Your decision to evacuate should always be based on your circumstances and your needs. I know some folks that built a house in the Bahamas that was designed to laugh at CAT5 storms and storm surge, all while maintaining full electricity. There are many homes designed the same way. For me, unless I feared imminent danger, I'm staying put. Then again, I don't live in a mobile home or in a flood zone.
I understand that. But, in that case you should be willing to sign, and accept, that in a emergency you are not going to be the first on the list because you accepted the responsibility for staying.
Being prepared great!!!
But, for those people that are not,, and that is most of them, when they say get out then you need to get out.
