The only thing they really can't enforce is the mandatory evacuation. It's too easy to simply not be home when they barge into your home to forcibly remove you from it, and then go back in when they're gone.
Actually, I don't think that any government agency has the power to force you out of your home if you decide to stay.

I have heard of many people who have decided to ignore a mandatory evacuation and ride out the storm in their home but I have never heard of one of them being arrested or charged with a crime.
