Like I said before, the disaster plan was written assuming you WOUILD have a
car. And of course even if you didn't, you certainly would no someone who
did. It would take a lot of courage to leave for some unknown destination.
A friend still in NOLA is poor, but had numerous options for leaving (bus,
friend's cars, etc.) still decided to stay simply because he didn't want to
go to a shelter.
