What’s in your go-bag?

Joan and I are safely across the river from the awful fires in Northern California. They have been a reminder to us of the need to be better prepared. So, we are taking pro-active steps to prepare for this type of emergency.
 
We are stocking our “Go-bags” with all we need for three days; food and water, plus others supplies, important papers and documents, clothing, bedding, medications, and pet supplies. And, from the advice of others who have lost their homes to disasters. we’ve included precious pictures and mementos. 
 
We want to be sure to also include who to notify and where to go, if we should get the knock on our door to evacuate.
 
It has helped to calm our nerves a bit to take these safety steps. Maybe you too can calm your nerves by taking some of these same steps and ask — How else can I be better prepared for this type of disaster?
 
Be safe — My heart goes out to all those suffering through this disaster. I know, once the fires are contained and people return to their homes, it will take a long time to heal and rebuild their lives.
