 Houston's Clear Thinkers: Thinking about Houston's evacuation plan
Posted by: Tom K at September 24, 2005 08:50 PM My thoughts are more with regard to the plan itself, which during implementation encouraged all Houston residents -- even those in non-mandatory evacuation areas -- to evacuate.
Tom, this is probably the main problem I have with your analysis here, and you can certainly correct me if you think I'm wrong, but...
As I've said elsewhere, if people didn't understand the difference between the mandatory evacuation because of expected flood surge in the worst case, and voluntary evacuation (which is kind of a silly term, since you and I would normally call it freedom to move about the country as citizens), then they just weren't paying attention.

Charter for Football began in a series of meetings between Tom Pendry and representatives from a variety of organisations in football, including its leading bodies and supporters groups.
Charter was a major commitment by a party in opposition toward its future policy, other noises were also being made: Pendry raised the prospect of a possible reintroduction of terracing, arguing that given technological advances5 there was no justifiable reason against limited safe standing areas, something backed wholeheartedly by supporters organisations.
