There are flashlights available now that don't have batteries but instead, have a crank you can wind for 30 seconds or a minute to give minutes worth of light. I keep one in the car and in the house.
With the fires it's a good idea to have a rough idea of an evacuation strategy which means having a good understanding of the roads out of the area, especially in the event the local freeway is closed (as happened here in the last fires last October). It's also good to think through up front what you'd pack in the vehicles for evacuation. Surprisingly, there's very little I have that I really care much about. Last time we packed up it was really just the photo albums/slides, videos of the kids, and a few sentimental heirloom kinds of things.
