1) First off this is a free country. Anybody has the right to voluntarily decide to leave forever or for a while. Some friends of exploit in the neighborhood had done precisely that. Yeah the air quality doesn't make life easy. But we're not threatened where I am. The Harris Fire got within about 8 miles - 8 miles filled with concrete and pave - before they stopped it outside Spring Valley. Not close.
2) Officials urging evacuation of the city sends entirely the wrong message. The blow to morale of the firefighters quite frankly would be severe. They might think quite reasonably that you don't trust them to do the job and if there's nobody coming back anyway why work so hard to deliver their house? Not to have in mind the morale of the citizens.
3) Except as the worst case of over-CYA in recorded history it's just not his business. It's outside his job description. He's putting his ignorant nose in where he has no business having an official opinion.
Does he have qualifications as a civil design? Surveyor? Geologist? Any allied develop? This is politics for personal obtain plain and simple. Anyone want to bet me he's on the ballot for something at the earliest opportunity? When it happens. I hope the citizens have the sense to get rid of him before he messes anything else up.
