This is a good piece of advice. I am not posting all of it, but it is worth reading. It is good to think about how we can be better prepared, without going shopping. You can't leave within two hours if you don't have your stuff organized.

They’re coming. You know they are coming, because they have told you so. Yet, you have told them over and over through the years what lies ahead. They have listened politely with a small smile, then proclaimed, “I’m just coming to your place!” ‘Nuff said?
Personal Message To Our People
Our personal message is that when you get the call to come, then come. You must come, now. Leave within the next two hours so you can get out of the city before the roads become impassable. Some say if you miss the 24 hour window for evacuation, you will be walking when the traffic snarl halts due to congestion, car breakdowns, running out of gas, fender benders, or lack of food and water. This means any time of day or night. In fact, a night exit may be your safest bet. Your city possibly could be like Houston before Hurricane Rita. You’ve seen the footage. Travel became impossible. Everything shut down, and some people even died.
Always keep your car gas tanks so they are no less than 1/2 empty. Even better is 3/4 full, at all times.
Priority Lists
Pack as if you will never return. Bring two cars, totally filled with family, pets, and goods. Here’s your Priority List, in this order:
Personal Papers
Gather your personal papers, such as passports, birth certificates, marriage certificate, bank and credit card account numbers, deeds, insurance policies, et cetera. Do not spend a lot of time on this! You should already have all this information in one place; a thumb drive is preferable. Get this information ready and assembled right now, today.
Food
Grab all of your food, everything. I mean everything… every box (opened or new), can, jar, bag, cases of water and soda. Include all drinks, powders, mixes, baking goods, such as sugar, flour, and baking soda/baking powder, salt, herbs, spices, extracts, candy, paper products, pet food, fresh food and frozen food packed in coolers, Ziplock baggies, Saran Wrap, aluminum foil, bleach. Leave nothing. You are only a two or five hour drive from here. We will preserve or eat the fresh food when you arrive.
Meds and Toiletries
Bring all of your meds and toiletries, everything, outdated or open, new, prescription and OTC. This includes all band aids, ointment, cream, old splints, walking boots, hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol, thermometers, fingernail clippers, razor, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, tooth brushes, floss, mouthwash, shaving equipment, soaps, hair products, toilet paper, pads, tampons, ALL matches, candles, and lighters.
