Evacuation supplies

Thought it would be helpful to share what we have packed or done in preparation if we do need to leave and would love to hear suggestions from others. There might be things we each haven’t thought of

Hopefully this won’t be necessary but we thought better to be prepared. We live in Eastern Melbourne and back onto a large nature reserve.

Main things we have packed:

20L of water

Cat food

Cat carriers set up and ready at door

ID, ie passports

A couple of changes of clothes as well as underwear, socks etc

Some toiletries - toothpaste, toothbrushes etc

Chargers

Toilet paper

Contacts and contact lens solution, glasses

Birth certificates

Small valuables, ie sentimental jewellery

Power bank

Cash

Everything is packed in our car ready to go should we need to leave and we fuelled up early this morning

Hope everyone is safe today

EDIT: to add some suggestions from comments to make these easier to find

- medications and prescriptions

- Physical copies of important contacts

- P2 respirators

- AM radio tuned to 774

- First aid kit

- Torches

- Batteries

- Any medical devices necessary

- Blankets, bedding

- Canned food

Will update the list when I can
