[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Palisades fires, like every fire, have me thinking—

When I was a very young child, my elementary school caught on fire. The K-2 building was annexed, and as the fire ravaged the main building, the 4-8 students piled into the our building while we waited for our parents to pick us up. It was chaos and it really traumatized me. I went home that night and strangely packed a bag full of my most important things, just in case my house ever caught fire. As an adult, I still keep things well organized, just in case.

I know everyone says they’d grab pictures. I’d grab pictures, memory cards, important documents, bins with keepsakes, important meds, as many clothes as I could, and honestly, that’s probably it.

I’m curious if you have a plan. It doesn’t even have to be for a fire. What would you grab in an emergency if you had to flee in five minutes?[/quote]

1. Documents - passports/ birth certicates/ wedding certificates etc (have bag with that ready to go)

2. Pets (cats and dogs so we would need two cars)

3. Clothes and underwear for each family member

4. Water and food as likely to be stranded for many hours on already clogged roads in DMV

5. Something sacred from our home altar - hand painted icon or hand carved cross.

So many Photos are on iCloud that I would not bother with photos.

If we had to evacuate the cars I would just take ourselves, pets and documents. [/quote]
