"Evacuating might seem like the obvious move when a major hurricane is bearing down on your region, but that choice is not always as easy as it may seem."
"Evacuating can be expensive. Evacuating requires a car, gas money, a place to stay, the ability to take off work days ahead of a storm and other resources that many people do not have."
"With 1 in 9 Americans facing poverty today, many have limited evacuation options. During Hurricane Katrina in 2005, for example, many residents did not own vehicles and couldn't reach evacuation buses."
"When millions of people are under evacuation orders, logistical issues also arise. Gas shortages and traffic jams further complicate the evacuation process, making it challenging for those who intend to leave."
