As I understand it, it's mostly a matter of wanting to deter looters. Obviously, being looted doesn't matter much if everything's going to burn up anyway, but I'm guessing people are holding themselves to a different risk threshold for that than the government has for issuing evacuation orders. That said, saying "evacuate or be arrested" and barring anyone from entering the zone does conveniently eliminate the risk of looting, so that shouldn't be a concern anymore. --- This is my signature.

captpackrat 06/01/18 3:24:03 PM #26:	Kyuubi4269 posted... SunWuKung420 posted... I wouldn't have built my home in the shadow of a volcano to begin with. With your logic we need to evacuate a huge chunk of the US population because they live in tornado alley. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a9/Tornado_Alley.svg/1280px-Tornado_Alley.svg.png These ones. The thing you have to remember about tornadoes is that odds of being hit by one are REALLY tiny, even in the heart of Tornado Alley. Tonight in Nebraska they're predicting a 5% chance of a tornado. But that's within 25 miles (40 km) of any given point, which comes out to 1963.5 square miles (5085 sq km)! So there's only a 1 in 20 chance that a tornado, probably only 70 or 80 yards/meters wide, will touch down somewhere within nearly 2,000 square miles. Even if the chances were 100% for a tornado the odds are I'd still never even see it. And the vast majority of tornadoes are EF0, with a wind gusts of less than 85 MPH (137 KPH) which would likely cause only superficial damage to properly-built structures. Only 21 people have been killed by EF0 tornadoes in the past 65 years. <cite>captpackrat posted [p:902380311] in Evacuate o...

So there's only a 1 in 20 chance that a tornado, probably only 70 or 80 yards/meters wide, will touch down somewhere within nearly 2,000 square miles. Even if the chances were 100% for a tornado the odds are I'd still never even see it.

Assuming you don't burn alive from lava covering your house, how do you plan to get out from under a foot of molten rock?

Arresting anyone in the area on sight is a pretty sizable reduction.
