Photos and important papers on portable hard drive, and backed-up on another off site (Work, In-laws, etc..). Scrapbooking is NOT a bad hobby to have. Makes grabbing precious photos much easier. Have had to bug out because of forest fire a couple of times. Backpacks are easier to "grab and go", suitcases are easier to "live out of" at the hotel. If in an area prone to fires, talk to the local hotels to find out when peak season for them is. Ours corresponds to fire season. Makes it kinda hard to find a hotel, and they are more expensive. And farther from work.
We are were considering a pre-packed travel trailer, if we had stayed in that area longer. Just a bit easier to hook it up and go. Easier to find a place to park it and stay. Cheaper and more "home" for us (hotels SUCK for a family to live out of for more than a couple of days).
