Question details:
Typically when a hazard is imminent, emergency management professionals issue evacuation orders. But in Southern California and Australia, where the wild fire hazard is high, some chief fire officers are advocating a stay-and-defend strategy where able-bodied residents stay with their homes to try to stave off the flames. How is this a good strategy? Would you recommend the stay-and-defend strategy for other hazards such as river flooding? Explain.
