[quote=Anonymous]One thing that is true in all the flood deaths from Katrina to Kerr is that people are very bad at understanding their flood risk. If they haven’t flooded before they think they will never flood so they don’t want to evacuate. They want to protect their property, they don’t want to leave their pets, they don’t have money, and so on. The federal government can warn them and advise evacuations but it has no authority to force it. Even when local governments call for mandatory evacuations, they usually urge people to evacuate but don’t force them. Anyone with children should always evacuate. Anyone elderly or impaired should always evacuate. Anyone who stays should write their name and Social Security number on their leg or torso so their body csn be identified easily. [/quote]
