It is fire season!
Make sure you have a Grab-n-Go kit (a.k.a. bug out bag) for each of your family members (including pets).
I live in Utah. Right now there are fires popping up everywhere. In a lot of places, the people can see the fire coming and have an hour or more to gather their belongings and evacuate. In a few of the latest fires, people had just minutes to get out!
When you look out the window and see the fire coming in, what do you grab? What can you live without? For me, I know that I have to make sure my family members are ok (including the cat) and then the very next thing I have to save are the scrapbooks! My wife has spent so much time on those books. I wish you could see them. They truly are art. If I had the time and money, I would get them all scanned professionally and have them stored digitally somewhere in the "magic cloud", just in case. As it is, I can't afford that so I know that I "HAVE TO" get the books out.
I am working on a couple lists that I will keep right at the door.
The first list will be "What to grab if you have 1 hour to evacuate".
The second list will be "What to grab if you have 10 minutes to evacuate".
In the mean time...Please make sure you have a Grab-n-Go kit!
Always have one in your car. It is a good idea to have one at your desk at work too!
