I like Trevor Kane take on making the evacuation a "Vacation from the Ordinary". Combine that with Cats BBQ for the neighborhood & you have got an evacuation that most people will WANT to do.... The Evacuation Block Party!
This idea does increase the size of your evacuation kit - adding pop-up, chairs, BBQ, flashlights/lamps, group games....but it is definitely more fun than sitting in a car just waiting for HOURS, and more of the spirit we have found here in Puna....
This is also a very good way to get all of the neighbors together.
ETA and a good way to do a neighborhood watch from a safe distance.
(Oh and there are those cute little packaged BBQs that would be great for the evac kit (that someone from Scuba Sunday has), and we always have a pack of frozen hot dogs .... so that would not be a huge burden for most..
