Meteorologists are getting better at forecasting the path hurricanes take toward land and the deadly storm surges they produce, he says. But there's enough uncertainty to sometimes prompt officials to"over evacuate" as a precaution, says Koon, whose tenure in state government coincided with Hurricane Irma.
And rather than using buses, community leaders are considering ride-sharing services such as Uber to transport low-income evacuees, one car at a time. "If you're a facility that is an evacuation zone and you have positive cases in your building, you may not be able to go to your typical facility that you would go to if they don't have positive cases in their building," Knapp says.Sheltering large numbers of hurricane evacuees, which is always complicated by size, location and special circumstances, will be even more difficult amid the pandemic.
