    Very nicely done Andy and I thank you for taking the time and effort to put it together for us!

    One omission though… Didn’t you intend to include direct access to your checking accounts and credit cards?

    Thanks Harry!

    I’m “assuming” that people know to bring a cash and a credit card when evacuating, but if you would like to pitch in, feel free to add your personal information to this thread.

    In all seriousness, prior to the storm, it’s a good idea to make sure you have ample cash broken into smaller bills as it’s not uncommon to find locations that are not taking credit cards after the storms due to connection outages.

    After Hurricane Wilma, Florida instituted regulations for fuel stations to have generators to power the pumps. Not all locations have them, but the number is growing.

    On my website, I had a piece of useful information posted by a reader and that was to have a passport and a copy of a utility bill. It seems that after Katrina, some neighborhoods were blocked by law enforcement and evacuees had provide multiple forms of ID by all occupants of a vehicle to prove they were going home and not there to loot.
