What would you grab if you had five minutes to evacuate?


This is an article from way back in September from the Mormon Times, a section of Deseret News.  It has a great Grab & Go List. Maybe you can use it for a Family Home Evening and discuss what your family would take in an emergency... like a hurricane!

Emergency evacuation: “The fire in Herriman (Utah) caused well over 1,200 households to evacuate. I talked briefly to friends preparing to evacuate. The most difficult thing was to gather scrapbooks and photo albums.” What if a similar emergency caused you to have to leave your home in a hurry?

What would you take?

 I found this blogger’s “Emergency Evacuation Grab & Go List” both timely and handy. Includes a list of items to grab in a five-minute evacuation and a 30-minute evacuation.
