Information on preparing for evacuation

Please prepare ahead of time for the possibility of an evacuation.  When the call comes, you will likely have limited time to decide what is most important to bring along.  Having a few things set aside and a list will help make this process easier in what will be no doubt a hectic time.  Here is a short list to get you started:
Driver’s license
Passport
Birth certificate
These days, with our electronic devices, most important papers can be left behind if you have them stored in “the cloud.”  Take a quick photo with your phone if you’re not sure.
Medication
Contac information:  Friends, family, Insurance agent, etc.
