	Jamaica Gleaner - Letter of the day - Compulsory evacuation: caution! - Sunday \| August 14, 2005
		Compulsory evacuation has probably saved many lives in other countries but 'not everything that fit dog, fit puss' (and not everything that fit dog now, will always fit dog), so its usefulness and desirability in the Jamaican situation should be carefully thought out before we copy it.
		Instead of a potentially hard-to-enforce, offensive, easy-to-misuse compulsory evacuation law, I suggest that education and land-use policies be used to remove dwelling houses away from places that are better for rice, dasheen and fresh-water fish.
		That way, an evacuation is likely to be the quick, simple, cheap movement of a few able-bodied workers to the safety of their homes rather than a difficult large-scale exodus of residents sick old, babies, criminals et al to the inconvenience and risk of public shelters.

		One of my wishes came true on the day of my planned evacuation: there was no boat for me. Apparently, the Israelis feel the occasional need to show who is in charge, and refused to let the ship chartered by the Swedes dock.

		The mock evacuation was to take place in the state's largest FEMA trailer park in Baker, 10 miles from Baton Rouge.
		Baker Police Chief Sid Gautreaux said that evacuating the people in the trailers is a problem because residents are not allowed to have land-based telephone lines, their cellphones do not have good signals and a majority of them do not have transportation.
