If you your home is in an area that has a mandatory evacuation order, i.e., the one where you face serious charges for just remaining on your own property, then your advice doesn't help very much.

I’m speaking in general. If you are evacuated, you are evacuated. Not much can be done and there is not enough police presence to deter looters.
