Preparing for an emergency evacuation is a good idea for everyone, whether you're a renter or a homeowner. It's important to know what to do if you ever have to leave your home in a hurry.
First, think about what you'll need to take with you. Will you bring your car or will you take public transportation? If you're taking the car, make sure it's in good condition and fully fueled up before the evacuation because there may be roadblocks or traffic jams that will prevent you from getting through safely otherwise.
If possible, get a list of family members' contact information so that they can get in touch with each other during any crisis situations that arise while they're away from their homes.
If possible, find out where your family can meet up once they arrive at their destination—this way they'll know where they can go if their designated meeting place is inaccessible due to an emergency situation such as flooding or fire damage.
Make sure all of your important documents, cash and other valuables are stored in a safe place.
Create a list of emergency contacts and arrange them in order of priority. Make sure that someone knows where you are going, who they can call if they need to contact you and who is responsible for retrieving any valuables left behind.
Leave an itinerary with friends/family so that they will know where to find you if the situation changes during your trip.
