It’s recommended to have a “Go Bag” – which is a kit of items you’ll want to take with you if you have to leave your home (or office) in a hurry. In these situations, you rarely have enough time to think clearly, so the Go Bag is prepared in advance, possibly with a note on items to add to it as you’re leaving that are in regular use and can’t be stored in the bag or case.
