PUBLIC SAFETY NOTICE:
There are many areas of the United States which are not subject to floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, wildfires, mudslides, or tornados. Many of them also are not prone to excessive snow.
If you want to live in an area where natural disasters may be expected, please acquire sufficient private insurance to meet your needs. If you don't, move, or be prepared to lose everything.
If you are told to evacuate, do so. If you don't like it, move where you won't have to. If you don't evacuate, and disaster strikes, be prepared to wait for help. Don't whine to the cameras when a mike is shoved in your face.
If a disaster is likely in your area, lay in emergency supplies sufficient to meet your needs for as long as it will take to recover you.
If you stay and are stranded, waiting for someone to risk their life doing what you should have done for yourself, be patient. Also, be prepared for a bill after we get you out.
Clearly, this does not apply to certain older or disabled residents. If you are healthy, have a vehicle available, and you choose to stay, you should accept the consequences of your (in)action.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
