Identification, money, credit cards, checkbooks, insurance records, medications and any other important documents. Personal hygiene items, heavy bedding and clothing to be used as protection. Clothing: Avoid polyesters, rayons, and other flammable material. Cotton is best. Cell phone, portable radio, flashlight; and, if practical, jewelry and other valuables. One gallon or more of drinking water per person per day, food that will not spoil, and a shovel. The most important thing is to get yourself and your family out of danger as quickly as possible.
