Town next door from us evacuated during last time SoCal burned and it was the first time that I loaded the car with stuff just in case of evacuation.
Things that you don't think about in the rush--
back up your computer and take the back up;
scan your irreplaceable photos so you can transport them easily--losing all the baby photos or wedding photos can be depressing;
pack your high school yearbooks (dumb, I know, but irreplaceable);
cash is king so be sure to have some on hand;
water, water, water--I could live off of my spare tire for a while, but you need water.
One friend I know puts her emergency kit in a big pack--you may have to move on foot.
Nobody likes to think about having to move in an emergency, but sometimes you may need to do it. Don't shoot the visiting messenger.
