Yep, they issued a voluntary evacuation for several of the more exposed areas around here, and it will become mandatory tomorrow morning for some.
At work we are in the process of discharging the patients able to return home - and we will see tomorrow morning what the decision will be about evacuating the patients that are still inhouse. At this time we don't expect to have to start massive patient evacuation, but the tracking is changing so quickly that really any prediction right now could be wrong. We are waiting for the final decisions of the emergency team tomorrow. Once those decisions are made, most of us should be released from duty - but it will be tomorrow night, so very likely too late for everyone to get out in the traffic. So I guess that we will have to ride this one out, either from work or from home.
Be safe everyone!
