Ellie, can't believe that fire is still smoldering! It is nature's way to "clean" the forests, but we who have infringed on the deserts and mountains want to be safe from fire.
I can handle earthquakes and floods (somewhat) but fire scares me to death.
After Katrina I was informed of a site where you can download and print out an "assessment" type book of your belongings. Starting at the front door, until you exit through the back door, places for photos and other information on every single room and items you own. This way insurance claims (and FEMA G-d help us) will not be a problem (ggg).
I did everything as instructed, the "book" is about 4 inches high, I tucked it away "just in case" now I don't remember where I put the darn thing.
I am great at planning ahead. Love, Dor, older than you but not a g-grandma yet. In CA
