Forced evacuation

[Justin Case]

For those of you who think you're going to somehow fight it to resist a forced evacuation, good luck. You'll be up against the National Guard.

I have never understood the mentality of a forced evacuation. I'm in my house. I'm not hurting anyone. Why does the government think they know what's best for me? Whether I stay or go, it should be my decision, not the government.

And, before anyone says my staying put would be a risk to those who would later attempt to rescue me, if I wanted to be rescued I would have evacuated. Do not attempt to rescue me. What is so hard to understand? I wear a necklace that reads DNR, Do Not Resuscitate. I also have a Living Will with instructions Do Not Resuscitate. If these instructions are typically honored, why do people not understand, Do Not Rescue?

You don't.

The Indiana Code was posted in the thread about the explosion that sparked this thread. If the area you're living has been deemed some sort of emergency containment area or something then you don't have the option. Refusing evacuation can earn you a misdemeanor IIRC...

How about if your town is evacuated because an area business has amassed 6 million pounds of explosives and stores it outdoors and clustered together?
