Are You Ready to Evacuate? Part 2

This week, we are featuring an article http://www.laurindaw.blogspot.comby Laurinda Wallace, blogger at SimplyLife. Thanks Laurinda, for your contribution!



Yesterday, we shared about personal papers to take when evacuating. Today, consider these personal items:


Personal Items
  • Prescription medications
  • Chargers for electronics
  • Cell phones
  • Cash
  • Toiletries
  • Clothes for a few days and an extra pair of shoes
  • Pet Food and Equipment
  • Laptops/Flash drive
Don’t forget about any pets and their supplies. Crates, food, meds, and leashes are a must if your pets are relegated to a shelter. Keeping a plastic gallon bag of basic toiletry items stashed can help too. A lot of financial records and personal information is stored on home computers. Don’t forget chargers for laptops and I-pads. A flash drive that has your pictures or other records as a backup is a good idea if you’re unable to take computers.

Tomorrow, we'll look at a list of general supplies to keep handy.






We were fortunate to stay with friends while we were evacuated, so we didn’t stay in a shelter like hundreds of others. If a shelter is your only option and you have a few more minutes to prepare the list below will help ease the stress:
