We all make choices. If a person chooses a modular home or an apartment on the thirtieth floor or a home on the ocean or one on a cliff on one in a jungle, then there are pluses or minuses that come with those choices. We must be willing to accept the consequences for our choices and if one lives in a manufactured home we must realize that they are dangerous during a wind event.
Many people have offered to shelter their friends in their homes during this hurricane. We have guests now at our home with their pet because they live near the ocean.
I am not trying to be mean, just to point out that lack of planning on the part of some does not constitute an emergency or a responsibility for the rest of us. Many people can and do choose to help others but that is their choice.

Sadly, there are those who no longer have the cognitive ability to take responsibility for themselves or plan ahead. They didn't choose to be this way.
