In Florida - when a really bad one might hit - the cops go out with indelible ink pens. When a person says they don’t want to evacuate off a barrier island or such - the cop will say ‘fine - that’s OK’ then ask if they can print their Social Security number on their arm. The citizen will ask why and the cop says, “it makes it easier to identify the body - saves us a lot of time’.... and pulls out the pen... It’s surprising how effective that can be...
I was just about to post about that - when we have the biggies (Cat 3+) here on the Texas gulf. There are many die-hards on Galveston Island that refuse to heed the evacuation warnings and the cops just tell them to be sure and write their SS# on their arms.
