Many Would Ignore Evacuation Orders

A recent study uncovers what many have suspected, but authorities often deny. Roughly 63% of parents said they would defy orders to evacuate and instead try to reach their children in the event of a major disaster or terrorist attack. The finding comes from Columbia University's National Center for Disaster Preparedness.

Additionally, 45% of parents also reported that they did not know where they would be able to meet their children if they had to be evacuated. School disaster plans often include a meeting place for this event, but the study clearly reveals that parents have not been sufficiently informed on the plan.
