I agree Julie. It riles me every major disaster that people don't follow mandatory evacuation. Look what happened with Katrina. Some able bodied people died because they didn't heed the warnings. I know, some had no transport but able bodied people can walk. Rob (hubby) said he would have started out walking and every time a car passed, he'd stick out his thumb. Heck, at least he's would be trying to follow evac.
We live in earthquake country. If we had a major one that called for even suggested evac, we're gone. We've seen what can happen not heeding the warnings.

It would be one thing if those who ignored evac orders were torching only themselves, but they rial the lives of those who have to rescue them as well, plus it costs a lot of money for search and rescue. They ought to have to pay that back it seems to me.

Evac warnings are one thing but when they say "mandatory" there should be citations or something given to people for not following the mandatory evac. I watched perfectly healthy, able bodied people being rescued after a mandatory evac was issued in NYC.
