Stay Put Strategy

What is a stay-put strategy? Where did they come from? What are the benefits? What can go wrong?
This week's #TwoMinuteTuesday explores the 'stay put' evacuation policy, also known as 'defend-in-place'.
It's a tricky topic - some call for it to be scrapped, some say that, given the right conditions, it's still the best option we have. What do you think? Polite comments welcomed below 👇🏽 (trolls will be 🗑️)

People look to the law(and policy rule books) as though it was set out by God, but instead it was drafted by spotty civil servants mostly just out from university and barely off the nipple. And often these edicts are changed annually - sometimes even to legalise previously serious crimes such as buggery and abortion - changes often made simply to support rapidly collapsing moral standards. As Charles Dickens wrote 'The law is an ass,' and as I (a once practising lawyer for several decades) wrote 'The law is a heap of sh*te.' Common sense dictates that if your gaff is on fire then you get the hell out of there QUICK! Simple.

I generally appreciate Carlsson's observations but I'm afraid, in this instance, he's reciting some serious inaccuracies.

[@SertusLtd]

Thanks for your comment, please could you point out the inaccuracies so that we can check them?
