Great topic, Hikermor!

On my nightstand I have a flashlight, phone on charger, sturdy slip-on shoes/slippers next to the bed.

I keep weekender bags in the front hall closet that double as "go" bags of a sort.

More important, I think, is that my SUV is very well stocked with clothes, gear, boots, tools, etc. etc. And it nearly always has a full tank of gas. I bicycle to work so the car doesn't move M-F and I top off the tank on Sundays after doing errands.

I keep the keys, and my purse, near the front door.

Using the wildfire example, among my top priorities would be grabbing my laptop, iPad, external hard drives with photos and also my cameras.

Most of the rest is just replaceable stuff (much of which I actually would not bother replacing).
