This question is partly out of curiosity, partly for a project. Thanks.
Add: I’m not sure if everyone would have to evacuate, but if you have any information on what would happen, it would be greatly appreciated.

This is for the Tacoma area but it can expand to include Seattle and other areas affected as well.

Does evacuation during miscarriage leads to delay to conceive? Because I want to be pregnant, since the evacuation last year August ve been trying to conceive up till today.

Sometimes a miscarriage can result in conception problems afterwards, especially if there is scarring from a procedure to ensure the uterus has expelled all it’s contents. Since it has been almost a year since your last pregnancy, I would suggest talking with your doctor. Generally speaking, most women who have experienced miscarriage go on to get pregnant with no trouble at all, especially if they conceived the first time with no trouble.

I’m very sorry for your loss, and I truly hope you get your rainbow baby soon. Good luck!

Like when they say it’s a mandatory evacuation, does that imply you have to leave your home by law? I mean could you honestly get in legal trouble for refusing to leave your home?

Yes, you could get in trouble — for example, if there’s a mandatory evacuation of an area hit by a deadly airborne disease, and you refuse to leave — they will just consider you infected, or consider you a looter — and have the right to SHOOT YOU ON SIGHT for the public good.

Or, say a hurricane is leaving and they say mandatory evacuation and you don’t leave. Say you survive, but your home is destroyed. The insurance company can VOID YOUR HOME INSURANCE and not pay you a dime, because you chose to Violate the Mandatory Evacuation Order.

All sorts of things can happen.

I live in area 11235 I can see beach from my house’s roof. Is evacuation necessary/mandatory. If yes, how would i know when, if i have to evacuate. I dont have a TV.
I want to know if i am safe, if not when who will tell me to leave. Or when should i. If i go to Brooklyn college, in brooklyn,ny. Would it be enough or i have to leave nyc altogether. Which doesnt seem to be the case judging by what a danger map, i saw, shows.

YEA everyone in long island is evacuating, if your near water evacuate, its gonna get really bad. Im leaving tmr or on saturday. If you have a car, drive to pennslyvania, they have hotels for about 80 dollars a night, i would leave now b4 all hotels are packed.

I am a business owner in a rural county that had to close due to missouri river flooding.
The county has issued an evacuation notice due to flooding and I need to access the property to pump water from within the temporary levee that was constructed around the business to keep the water from entering the building.
Do we not have the right to protect our property from flooding?

If it isn’t mandatory, they can’t stop you from refusing to leave… They’ll call you stupid but it isn’t MANDATORY…

If it’s mandatory and you want to be a retard and die by going back after a mandatory evacuation that had to be put in place specifically because there are a LOT of stupid people that will put their own lives and the lives of others at risk by refusing to evacuate, that is your choice.

I don’t care about you… I care about the emergency personnel that could get hurt or killed when they have to go in and rescue you after you dismiss a mandatory evacuation order.

I’m going in the Air Force as a 4N0X1 which is Aerospace Medical Service but i would like to be on an evacuation team. I would like to know the steps of how to get on an evac team… Thanks for any information given.

Again, this is quite technical and you need to speak to a recruiter about this specifically.

For purposes of argument, let’s say that on July 15, 2012, astronomers determine that the course of asteroid Apophis has been altered slightly and it is predicted to hit the middle of Europe on December 21, 2012. This will effectively wipe out Europe, parts of Russia and North Africa.

How practical is it over a period of six months to evacuate all of Europe?

Would there be widespread panic and chaos?

Personally, I’d walk and swim if need be to get away from the target. Scrounging for food could be problematic.

Not at all practical.

Your supervisor asks you to remove all of the combustibles from a designated evacuation route. What is she asking you to remove?

1.Objects or debris that will burn
2.Objects or equipment that may break
3.metal or glass containers that may block the exit
4.large objects that could obstruct the evacuation route

What is the right answer? I’m doing a questionaire for security, thanks.

IDK

I want to know if this is realistic or just for the sake of the movie.
lots of cities have evacuation plans but it is true that people panic and loot.
So what’s the deal here?
Yes I have noticed that many movies are based on stupid decisions of the actors but it is really annoying when they are suddenly the smartest, most important person on earth, when the whole thing is their fault.

Yeah it’s a plot device to give an urgency when the disaster actually happens. It does get tiresome and formulaic after a while.

Disaster movies should look to Hurricane Katrina when the evacuation was not delayed at all, but the infrastructure was terrible and local officials forgot the poor population who couldn’t leave because they had no car and no television to warn about the hurricane and evacuation plans. Some foolish people chose to stay and got trapped by flood waters. FEMA couldn’t get there because everything was flooded and the city was poorly maintained for years.

After Katrina, there was rampant looting. People who are scum of the earth will always take the opportunity to steal. People that took refuge in the football stadium suffered from gangs beating, raping, and robbing people because there was no police there.

what role did the british have to play in the evacuation of Montserrat after the soufriere hills eruption in 1997? Especially in regards to the exclusion zone, MVO and volcanic activity!

Montserrat is a British overseas territory, so it had ultimate responsibility for ensuring the safety of the island’s population. Much of the island’s evacuation was run by the British Royal Navy, and the UK government provided some relief money to those who moved from Montserrat (this caused protests in the island, as islanders thought - perhaps with some justification - the amount offered was not enough). They also set up a five-yearplan to redevelop the northern part of the island, which was still habitable. It was also the British who set up the exclusion zone, the area in which people are no longer allowed to travel or live for safety reasons. This covers much of the south of the island. Understandably, in order to coordinate efforts they had to work with the Montserrat volcano Observatory, who had the best data on what was actually happening to the Soufriere Hills volcano.

There’s a full report on the British government’s response to the eruption in pdf form at http://www.dfid.gov.uk/Documents/publications1/evaluation/ev635.pdf
