When the worst calamities are about to strike you may not feel safe and wish to be elsewhere.  You may be required to leave and experience a forced evacuation when total disaster imminent.  Have you thought about where you are going to go, what you will take with you, how will you contact loved ones, and maybe most important how will you survive until you can return?

Depending on the peril looming, you may have hours but you may only have minutes.  Think about how long you have to get on your way before others have the same idea or opportunity and travel becomes so congested no one is going anywhere fast.  Being prepared ahead of time and knowing what you should take having it close to hand and knowing where you are going to go is a big step ahead of most everyone else around you.  In most disaster circumstances, you, need to plan three days to one week at a minimum away from the disaster area.
