    I feel like the people who should write an identifier on their body during a hurricane are the same people who wouldn’t bother to listen to government officials advise.

    I am in NW GA. We occasionally get some fallout from hurricanes here, but I’m not sure how long it’s been since I’ve seen this much rain, and at time of writing there’s still time before the actual storm(s?) hits.

    We did that during Katrina, we told people we couldn’t make them leave, but to write their ssn in permanent marker on both arms to help us ID them later.

      I’d be really curious for how many that was convincing enough to leave, and how often it actually helped identifying the bodies

        I’m betting the people who didn’t leave didn’t write any ID on their arms
