    While the law includes exceptions during emergencies like major storms, those protections end when the hurricane order is no longer in place.

    The article never explains the title.

      I mean, I think it does. A hurricane order expires shortly after the storm is over. It can take months for new shelter to be provided for those that lose their homes. Some people might prefer just to live out of their RV or a tent or whatever to save money while new living arrangements are figured out.

      Ya because people can just pick up the shattered pieces of their lives on the governments timeline. They’ll remove the hurricane order way too soon resulting in additional people being imprisoned or removed from their “homes” and their land will be sold off to a golf course or oil company.
