1. Some simply have to stay. Not just police and firemen but a large amount of medical professionals. Other regular civilians are well intended and plan to stay and help others.
2. Many can not leave. Elderly and disabled for example. And sometimes leaving is not as easy as it sounds. Closed roads, horrible traffic, etc.
3. The media. If you live on the coast you grow weary of the constant exaggerations and ultimately grow callous. Its just a fact.
