IF YOU ARE RELUCTANT, THINK ABOUT YOUR LOVED ONES, THINK ABOUT THE EMERGENCY RESPONDERS WHO WILL BE UNABLE TO REACH YOU WHEN YOU MAKE THE PANICKED PHONE CALL TO BE RESCUED, THINK ABOUT THE RESCUE/RECOVERY TEAMS WHO WILL RESCUE YOU IF YOU ARE INJURED OR RECOVER YOUR REMAINS IF YOU DO NOT SURVIVE.
OK OK OK IF IT HAD BEEN A SNAKE IT WOULD HAVE BIT ME
We should be considerate to the Rescue/Recovery Teams. Please have the courtesy to DIE BY THE ROAD where transport of your carcass will be easier. Thank you.
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 have several law enforcement members of my family, and know many more. They are told that after the winds hit 40 mph, they don’t go out. It’s too dangerous for the responder.
Also, when firemen, law enforcement, etc. goes out & tells someone to evacuate, and the person refuses, the responders ask for name, address, and next of kin - the person to notify if they don’t survive (that usually motivates people to get out of danger).
