Here are the 5 “Ps” FEMA says you need ready to quickly gather up when ordered by the local authorities to get out.

• People — Be ready to flee with yourself and your family, and if safely possible, with pets and other animals.
• Prescriptions — Have them bagged and ready to go including medicines; medical equipment; batteries or power cords; eyeglasses; and hearing aids
• Papers — Important documents (hard copies and/or electronic copies saved on external hard drives or portable thumb drives
• Personal needs — Such as clothes, food, water, first aid kit, cash, phones, and chargers and items for people with disabilities and others with access and/or functional needs, such as older adults, children, and those with Limited English Proficiency.
• Priceless items — including pictures, irreplaceable mementos, and other valuables

FEMA officials said there is another very important “P” to remember — Protect your property.
