The Decision to evacuate #hamradio #ARRL

 When the hurricane, hazmat spill, tornado, ice storm etc. comes, you have two choices.

Evacuate!

Shelter in Place!  

There are NO others.

Mandatory evacuations are so ill timed.  They are inconvenient for you.  They come, sometimes, when you don't get the notice.  They are unnecessary as well.

Why are they unnecessary? 

You have a brain.  You can watch the news.  You can watch the weather.  You can listen of official government sources.

If they are talking "It's gonna be BAD", do you really need someone zipping up and down your street telling you to get out of Dodge?

Did you learn how bad it was in New Orleans during Katrina?  Folks there were told how bad it was AND there was an official evacuation notice.  How well did that go?

You have two choices.  Pick one.  I can't help you if you make the wrong one.  Just be sure you have your ham radio turned on and checking into a net so you can call for help.
