. Tell us how it could work ?I did... I pointed out one reason, it positively wouldn't work... How is that political?. Remember that these are only ideas that are talked about here, and I am just looking for valuable inputs, so trying to take the OP apart on cherry picking for political or other reasons doesn't work or apply here. Add your valued input, and make it a positive input if you will.. Thanks.The OP mentioned needing a Florida drivers licsene... That would make the plan ineffective.And what does individual diversity, race or ethnicity of the individuals got to do with this OP ????? It's mostly to assist native Floridians, and it would accommodate those foriegners and tourist if need be as well. All human beings here, and who need assistance would get that assistance in the emergency.Your idea wouldn't work, for a zillion reasons. Least of which being that Florida is the vacation capital of the world. Slap full of tourists, and foreigners who need to evacuate as well.What about this - I was thinking about the mandatory evacuation out of Florida in which was ordered to avoid the hurricane, and I thought what if FEMA set it up for the evacuees to have a way to get gas and hotel rooms along the evacuation routes on FEMA's dime ?? Wouldn't this allow for those who might not be so willing to flee for economic reasons, to then flee like everyone else can or would ? Otherwise you have people who are living paycheck to paycheck that might figure that they are stuck, so they just stay behind thinking I will just have to ride it out no matter what happens. It could be that if you have a Florida license plate or tag, and a Florida drivers licence to present while on the evacuation route, and you present that at the supported stations or hotels in the safe zone or along the route, then FEMA would automatically kick in to take care of you and your families accomodations until allowed to return Home. This would level the class situation in which money separates the saved from those left behind because they couldn't get out because of a lack of money. If done in a manageable way, and proper ID along with address and registration to match liscense tag were presented, then you would be excepted to get assistance while in route, and until allowed to return home. The wealthy wouldn't need the assistance, but the unfortunate working class poor who would want to leave also, could definitely get the help if need it on or along the way. Just a thought.
