Happy to hear you're doing quite allright and that you were able to salvage most of your belongings. Hopefully you didn't loose to much things with high sentimental value that can't be replaced.

I found a site worth reading:

Listening to Katrina - HURRICANE KATRINA

This is an other approach to the prepartion theme, it goes further than a bob. While a bob helps you "survive" the first hours/days, the HYST also takes things such as important documents, belongings, memorablia into account. Things making a restart after flooding, fire, hurricane a little less difficult. (Please forgive me errors in the description. It's been some time ago I read the site. I'll have to go throug it again.)
This HYST preparation together with a BOB seems the "optimal" solution.
You don't necessarily have to "go all the way" as the author did. You can decide for yourself what is usefull or possible for you.
But it is certainly recommended to at least prepare a "basic" HYST.

I don't remember how I got to this site, so excuse me if it was posted already on equipped.org.

I'm trying to compile my own psk, bob, hyst, ...
In short i'm trying to be prepared, but I still have a long way to go.
My psk/edc is going in the right direction. Now I will start building my bob/hyst.


Thanks for the reminder on getting and staying prepared.

wishing you well,
Vince.
