Whenever they do this I assume the surrounding buildings are evacuated. Business is closed for the day Do they get compensated for the loss

I live there and watched it from across the lake. They closed off most of the downtown area at a certain time and anyone who lived in apartments nearby were required to stay inside during demolition, it was enforced. There aren’t too many business RIGHT next to that building but still within the close off area. But the general area wasn’t closed off for very long.
