Was watching the news last week sometime and either on the weather channel, discovery or cnn (don't remember which) they did a little feature about Cuba and hurricane preparedness. If I remember it right, they said that Cuba could effectively evacuate 2 million people in an orderly manner when needed.
I looked a bit in google for a reference, found a little editorial by someone who watched them evacuate 100,000 people rather painlessly

))
Anyway, I don't know if we could effectively emulate the same structure here without enacting some pretty totalatarian type policies but it would at least be worth looking at. (imho of course)
