We keep most of our documents in another location in a fireproof cabinet. Hadn't thought about bleach but that is good.
We do have wildfires but like Washdad I think the biggest disaster would be an earthquake. That would put the whole city and area out of commission. With fire it is unlikely that the entire area would burn so there is always somewhere to go.
I don't have much I could not live without as long as my family is safe. It does remind me that my photos are all over the place. I need to really spend some quality time going through them and having them be in one place. Also more recent photos are on a desktop computer. Need to copy those to a CD.

It is interesting what some people take. I spoke with a good friend who is evucuated. She packed up her china, her shoes and her favorite clothes. They filled 6 cars with stuff. I think I would just take the essentials and leave.
The visitor is family and you know how that can go. She means well and the message delivered from anyone else would be better received.
Do those of you who live in earthquake country have all the emergency supplies in a dedicated place including the food and water?
