Take the cats, they don't do well on there own.  It's becoming more of a
problem here in Florida as there aren't enough shelters that take pets as
you can't have people and animals sheltering under the same place.  Most of
the places that "shelter" animals leave them outside in their crates.  Our
evac plan is to pack the little buggers and head to Ohio because all the
hotels in Georgia will be full of hurricane refugees.

I have a large box that has a basic first aid kit, flashlight with new
batteries (not in the flashlight yet), some food supplies... I do need to
replenish the water because after 6 months they began leaking. I have an
agency that has several workers who live in my neighborhood, so I am sure
they would send somebody to assist me in case of an earthquake.  If I knew
ahead of time it was going to be a big storm, you bet I'd get my ass up
Oakland ave (a big street, which goes up a huge hill)  as far as I could
drive my chair, or I'd take BART to antioch! (inland, very dry, hot area) If
I have enough time, and a car available, I'd pack up my cats too and just go
inland.
