I can see it coming too, forced evacuations that is, and in a legal and moral sense it's a s**t sandwich no matter how you slice it.
People who can prove residency down to mile marker 47 (near the beginning of the seven-mile bridge to the lower Keys) are being allowed to return today (09/16/2017), and the remainder will be allowed through the checkpoints in the morning (09/17/2017). See:
Keys Recovery - Monroe County Emergency ManagementHowever, the fact that a forced evacuation did not happen does not mean all "life, liberty and property ownership" in the Florida Keys is no longer at risk. From the
Monroe County BOCC (Board of County Commissioners) Facebook page, here are some comments from veterans of past storms elsewhere:

tick, tick, tick,....(set your watches, folks,) waiting for the HUGE outcry from MM 10 to 40, when they find all of the posted notices on their former properties, saying: OCCUPANCY FORBIDDEN... Then, it'll dawn on them, the gov't has stolen their land. ...take your insurance settlement check, (less items for which you don't have receipts, less items that you have no photographic evidence, less depreciation, less deductible,) and LEAVE) ...residents of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts can document the experience... (their former properties are casinos and time shares now, which was schemed and signed before they were allowed back from evacuation orders, too.)

Bring a truck to haul out what little you can salvage. Take pix, and search for documents, especially, to file insurance claims. You won't be staying.... Just save the gov't a piece of paper, and stop by and sign over the pile of rubble, to the gov't. Rebuilding permits won't be authorized (and will require detailed plans and drawings, which of course, can't be had locally,) nor will reconstruction crews have availability for many months, (as all gov't rebuilds get priority.) So you're out.....
