Will the Government evacuate the Gulf Coast?

Last night I was listening to Coast to Coast on the radio. People are saying that there is huge methane deposit in the Gulf of Mexico and the whole place is about to go sky high. They are saying that the cap placed on the rig is tipped over and BP and the government are worried about the pressure building up below the ocean. A former oil worker called in and said it does not look too good. Apparently, they are not just cranking the cap down on the top because they are worried about the build up of pressure and a possible explosion. Also, some one called in to say the fire was started from someone smoking on the rig and igniting the methane gas. A link to program is as follows:

I could not find any information on the Coast to Coast website so I did my own Google search. There are websites indicating that plans are in works to evacuate people inland 200 miles from the Gulf coast due to the dispersant, the highly-toxic Corexit 9500, used by British Petroleum. I remember when the government told BP to stop using the dispersant and BP continued anyway. This websites indicates that plans may be in the works to evacuate people from the coast due to all the chemicals:

The website indicates, that due to toxic gases from the fractured oil well in the Gulf of Mexico, the possible off-gassing of the highly-toxic Corexit 9500 (the chemical dispersant used by BP in the oil spill clean-up), acid rain and various as-yet-unknown forms of environmental damage, they believe that the government will have no choice but to relocate millions of people away from the Gulf Coast.

Here is another website that lists the cities needed to be evacuated:

Some of these websites seem like they are getting information from the government that they are drawing up plans on how to relocate people away from the Gulf Coast. These plans are in the works. With all the dispersants and oil in the ocean one hurricane coming through the place would spell a disaster. FEMA should be all geared up to take all the people to camps since the swine flu outbreak did not occur as they predicted.

BP has not been honest about the size of the spill from the beginning of the oil spill. They have down played the amount of oil in the gulf. Who knows if they or the government are telling the truth about how big the problem really is down below the ocean? Since 911, the government has been on constant alert. It would not surprise me at all if the government moved all these people out of the area. The government did not respond to Katrina very fast. We are still sorting through the mess created by Karina with the trial of several cops shooting people trying to leave New Orleans including a mental ill man shot in the back. Could you imagine what a mess this would be if the government told everyone along the Gulf Coast to report to a FEMA camp? It is shame that our government spends more money and time in Iraq building the government than they do trying to fix the problems in the Gulf of Mexico affecting the citizens of the Gulf Coast.
