if you live in an area that is 45 feet BELOW SEA LEVEL you should not need to be told to leave when a catagory 5 storm is anywhere near you
actually now that I think about it, what where you doing living there in the first place? |

well they actually cut millions of dollars in federal funding to help fortify the levees against stronger hurricanes so it was the federal government who shat the bed on that one.
besides you can't force evacuations, some people are too stubborn and stupid to leave anyways so what's the point? |

hindsight is 20/20.
plus living 2000 miles away, hell yea I would have evacuated that area. But if a cat 5 storm was hitting here, I might just weather it out. |

you would have had to deploy the National Guard to get enough man power to do that |

I'm no lawyer, but I believe that you would have to declare a state of emergence to get those sorts of police powers
and then the first person who said no would probably tie the whole thing up in court since no emergency actually existed yet |
