Since leaving the land of hurricanes and tornadoes, I have learned a good bit about earthquakes, wildfires, and bug-out bags. Think of it this way--if you had a few minutes notice, what would you need packed (in your home or vehicle) if there was a possibility that your home would be totally destroyed and you could never come back. And what do you need in your vehicle at all times in case the calamity strikes when you are away.
