Depends on the nature of the emergency. Some you want to run or bug-out; others you may be better off staying home and just riding it out. You need to be able to assess the emergency and make a rational decision as to the best course of action.

Speaking for my situation, the emergencies I see are either wildfires (giving lots of time to plan) or earthquakes which catch you as you are, ready or not -- much like the difference between a hurricane approaching for days and tornado's popping up with little warning. You need to be prepared for both.
