Touchy. your not the ONLY person in Florida I say bad things about, in fact I forgot about YOU.

Y'all best not be talkin' 'bout little ol' me!

 How could you think such a thing !
One is no longer on this sight and the other NEVER was.   
But I did word it so as to bait FQ into revealing his guilty conscience.

Kind of a sticky subject. On one hand I understand why they would fear for the safety of another, but on the other, if the person is aware of the risks they are taking then why should law enforcement feel accountable?

In the end, I feel the land owner should be able to make their own decision without interference of legislation passed by some wanna be rescue ranger.

 If I'm living in an area I'm going to be prepared for the things that might happen there. In that case the Govt would be removing me from a prepared safe haven and unnecessarily adding me to the numbers needing help by already over burdened relief agencies who will be unable to respond in less than 3 days.

first i've heard of this.......
been involved in evacations before but it involved wild fires.......and nothing "mandatory". Home owners could stay and self roast if they wanted to......
the purpose of the evacuation order was just to make it crystal clear that they were  on their own as far as local and county services.
The only folks we actually "hands-on" evacuated were nursing home residents and assisted living residents and we used ambulances and school busses for that.

this is a scare tactic. we got a lot more important things to be doing. Sounds more like by ignoring the order then they are subject to fine afterwards and restitution for rescue services. Restitution and fines thru criminal courts or under civil courts.......problem with that is (if you have to be rescued) more than likely you have lost everything in the diaster so where's the money?

we will be getting our "update" meetings in a month or so........i'll be looking for this one.......
