what is being done to evacuate puerto rico?

15. Large-scale evacuations are disastrous events in themselves, Mopinko.

Even if it weren't impossible, there would be many deaths from trying to remove over 3 million people. I think the extremely, amazingly low death counts from these last 2 hurricanes illustrate how far we've come in preparation. We're doing good, and probably well over half of those who died would not have had they heeded the warnings being sent out by every available means. Individuals making their own choices.

Shelters for those with homes too risky to remain in are turning out to be very good options. They may also be very uncomfortable for those who come unprepared to camp in a gymnasium or whatever, but they're generally quite safe, and then it's past except for the mess waiting outside.

By the way, our neighbors who spent 3 days in a Florida shelter with their 2 small grandchildren said that shelter couldn't have been better run. It wasn't a bad experience at all.
