Besides excellent suggestions others have made for your personal safety, I'll add:

  • Whether you're the condo-owner or renting, make sure you've got appropriate (dollar-wise) full replacement-cost coverage on your contents.

  • Recommend shooting video of ALL of your belongings; open drawers, cupboards, closets etc. to show contents. Don't forget garage. Will make infinitely easier if ever need to file insurance claim. Who of us can remember everything we own, especially in aftermath of stressful event. Zoom-in on especially valuable items to show detail, and on model names/numbers if possible, or recite them in narrative while shooting. Consider including details on electronics and other high-dollar belongings in your narrative , e.g. approximate cost, when/where bought etc. Burn video to DVD(s); keep in safe deposit box and/or trusted friends/relatives.

  • Consider a fireproof file box (typically, 1/2-hour protection) for selected documents and personal records if you don't keep in off-site safe deposit box. Good place, too, to keep external harddrive (if you have one vs USB stick) with (encrypted) back-up of PC's harddrive.

  • Presume smoke/fire alarms in your unit's interior are up to speed.

  • Any critical prescription medications for which provisions need to be made? Grab 'em or be confident timely replacement possible.

  • If you are on second floor, I'll repeat LesSnyder's suggestion ... have means for alternate escape out window.
