Maybe nobody should have the authority to call for a "mandatory" evacuation under any circumstances. The mayor, governor, etc. doesn't need to do anything more than announce the following:

"It would be a really good idea if y'all just packed your things and got the hell out of here. If you call 911 after daybreak tomorrow, you'll have to leave a message 'cause we're all outta here. See you in a few days . . . GOOD LUCK!"

AC, that'd be a nice bit of well needed culture shock to the nanny-state dependents who have been nursing on the government teat for so many years.

It's a hard world sometimes, and no citizen of a free nation should be forced to ceed responsibility for their own liberty, safety, and welfare to an irresponsible bureaucracy - local, state, or federal.

Our federal government can't efficiently distribute free cheese, yet they've taken charge of transportation security - where they refuse to look for terrorists - and yet still here we have some calling for federal "takeover" of mandatory evacuation orders. I'm not sure where the constitution allows for this - not that we've paid much attention to that little document for the past 50 years or so.
