For most scenarios, Mom and I are bugging in. There is one in which we need to head for the hills. If that happens, America will be so devastated that we need to bring food, water, water purification, a means to cook and so forth. There won't be enough room for larger sentimental items.

We will store some items in water-tight containers on the chance we can return home at some later point to salvage what we can.
