Yes, cities should be required to have detailed evacuation plans. As stated in FEMA's Comprehensive Preparedness Guide 101, "Evacuations are implemented to save lives, protect evacuees from imminent danger, provide essential commodities and services, and enable responders to perform rescue and recovery activities." Having detailed evacuation plans ensures that cities are well-prepared to efficiently and effectively respond to emergencies and evacuate residents safely. Additionally, according to a study published in the International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction, cities with detailed evacuation plans are more likely to have higher evacuation rates and shorter evacuation times, ultimately saving more lives in times of crisis.
