im on about fire procedures if that helps

I am a member of the Office of Emergency Management.
In the event you are requested to evacuate a particular area for whatever reason, be it flood, fire, toxic event or other such matter, it is in your own best interest to comply with whatever directives you have been given.
The crews in charge of evacuation procedures are highly trained and certified individuals who have your best interests and welfare at heart. Many are volunteers.
If you or anyone fails to comply with a directive to evacuate, aside from the legal ramifications, you are putting yourself and anyone with you IN HARM'S WAY. It is really a rather foolish thought to go against that type of directive.
Look at what happened in New Orleans to those people who refused to evacuate. Most of them DIED, and the rest had to be extracted using extreme measures in order to save their lives.
On the LEGAL side, you could find yourself locked up for disobeying a government official.
Good Luck

Faling to comply with evacuation procedure can result in death, not by execution of course but by stupidity for not complying. Even if the said individual didn't die he/she could still get into trouble and need rescuing causing others to risk their lives because of that person's stupidity. There could also be legal repecussions but that would depend on the powers that be in the area in question. If someone gets into trouble while following the evacuation procedures then no one is to blame for the mishap and the authorities can improvise new procedures on the fly if needed. It may be inconvenient but the best way is to follow the established procedures.

Actually, your question raises another question, which is:
"What are the BENEFITS of refusing to comply with evacuation procedures?"
It depends on the situation, the reasons for the evacuation, and how well the individual is prepared to protect and provide for theirself and their loved ones.
As you might guess, I've grown to be more and more suspicious of our government and the police.
The terrible events in New Orleans only showcased why police can't always be trusted.
In a life and death disaster, folks may be on their own, and they may have to hide from rogue police officers or police imposters until after order is restored.

police and other emergency personnel cannot make you leave. if you stay, however, a possible consequence is that you would be placing yourself in danger from whatever reason the evac warning was issued, be it a tsunami warning, hurricane, fire, whatever.

You are only putting yourself, and perhaps your family in harm's way. They don't issue these if they don't have a good reason, but the police cannot force you to leave.
