If they live near the ocean, and their area is prone to flooding, and their residence is one level, then the governor has the responsibility to protect their lives by ordering them to move. There are many stubborn, illogical, low information residents who refuse to leave. Many times they have no place to go because of lack of relatives or friends in safer areas or simply have no finances to stay in hotels. There are safe shelters all over in Florida for such people.
Yes, there are options, but ORDERING is a step too far. If people are too stupid and live in unsafe locations and die, that is their problem. The government stepping in and telling them, ends up them telling others, more responsible, what they must do. Not government’s role.
