This!👇🏽 Learnt it the hard way a couple of months ago when the floods in Valencia. I would add to the list: hand sanitiser, tissues, baby wipes, some chocolate (you're going to need it) and at least spare socks (if enough space, other underwear as well). Copies of documentation can go in a pendrive.
I watched my friends and family escape flooding from a hurricane in Raleigh

I watched my friends and family pick up the pieces after two hurricanes in the Tampa Bay area

I'm now watching the social media of friends in LA to make sure they're safe from fire

Probably time for us all to have go bags
