Don, Paul, & Ken (Jeff Traveling and guest panelist Zack had a birthday celebration, happy birthday Zack!) take up the discussion of the LA Fires and what to do in that kind of sudden emergency. What do you do, how do you prepare, when you have to evacuate, or when you have to shelter in place...two different scenarios...

What to keep on hand:
Emergency Supplies:
Medical kit/first aid kit ('quick clot' should be part of it)
Battery-powered flashlight: This is key so that you're not running down your cell phone battery in the dark if the electricity goes out.
Battery-powered radio: A vital news and communication tool if power goes out and cell phones die.
Camping supplies: If your evacuation plan doesn't involve going to someone else's home, you might need sleeping bags, blankets, even a tent.
Cash: Depending on the extent of the disaster in the area, ATMs may not be working.
Changes of clothes: Again, every member of the family will need something to change into, plus extra underwear and socks. Include something waterproof like a rain poncho.
Extra batteries: To power all your devices.
Food and water: You'll need enough for each member of your household; how much depends on where you're going and for how long. Most insurance companies recommend a three-day supply when evacuating. But at the very least, have some bottled or boxed water and granola bars stored in your go bag.
Whistle: This is a must-have if you need to signal for help.
