For me personally, I have never had the need to bug out. None of our local/regional emergencies/disasters have resulted in a situation where it was necessary to leave the area. For almost all major storms, I report to the Fire Station. My family for the most part can handle issues at home.

If a situation arose where bugging out was necessary, I would make sure that had what they needed and got off safely. I would report to the Fire Station for as long as the situation required. My family knows I would never leave the area as long as my services were necessary.
