My plan is set: French press and coffee grounds
I'll be pretty covered.
What (other than the basic paper work, photos, computer or medicine etc-) would you take with you?
This is a good reminder.
Since (here in the bay area) it's more of an earthquake land, I also heard a good recommendation from NPR that carrying a small whistle, even in a keychain, would be helpful in worst-case scenarios (insert trapped visual here)

"Two families take the Ten Minute Challenge to see if they can evacuate their homes in just ten minutes. Erica and Jason Bish have prepared ahead of time and know what to pack and who will do it. Alex and Steve Gorman have not. The Insurance Information Institute says the key is to plan ahead. Gather insurance policies, wills and deeds, marriage licenses, home inventory and other financial documents in one place. Be sure to pack medicines, toiletries, and clothing for three days. Candysse Miller of the Insurance Information Network of California says families should ask themselves "If I had just ten minutes to get out, what would I take?"

In spite of this looking and sounding like it came from a "Good Morning Someplace" show, it serves as an excellent reminder of what to plan for in an emergency.
The part about pre-packed needed documents was great. -
I'd have to grab three things.
1. My laptops
2. My iphone
3. My purse
Everything else can be bought. -
i grab exactly one thing : my ass - and i carry it with me out the door .
