§ 7.27. Protective Action Recommendations for the Public

The decision to recommend that the public take shelter, evacuate, or relocate rests solely with the Governor and with the officials of local government. The chief elected official of a local government has the legal authority to order the evacuation of areas within the government's jurisdiction that are at risk from or have been impacted by a disaster.
