believe me they are TOO busy to bother with people who refuse to leave.
We we told that if we DID leave we wouldn't be able to get back. This is what we were told:
Q: How much time do I have to evacuate?
Q: What if I refuse? Will I be arrested?
A: You could be cited for a misdemeanor and face up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine for refusing an order to evacuate. Deputies and police are likely to be too busy to arrest those who refuse, but they point out that the evacuation order is for the protection of those who live in Zone A.
I think they would only bother doing anything to you ONLY if you got in their way - or did something totally idiotic.
