According to FEMA (2020), local authorities are responsible for issuing evacuation orders when the threat is immediate. To warn residents and businesses of an impending flood threat, I would utilize multiple communication channels like emergency alerts, social media, local news outlets, and door-to-door notifications. Specific evacuation routes and shelters should be clearly communicated. An evacuation order can be issued by the local government or emergency management authorities based on the severity of the threat. Residents are more likely to heed an evacuation order if they trust the source, perceive the threat as credible, and understand the risks involved. Community engagement, education on flood risks, and clear communication can enhance compliance. However, factors like past experiences, individual perceptions of risk, and access to transportation can influence residents' willingness to evacuate. Coordination with local authorities, community leaders, and emergency responders is vital to ensure a timely and effective evacuation process
