From the [livejournal.com profile] altfriday5:
1. You have half an hour to leave your home, knowing that you will never be back, and anything you leave behind will be destroyed or gone. What do you take? (assuming all the people are taken care of)

My cat. Cell phone & palm & chargers for both, so that I have phone numbers and can get in touch with people. Passport, Birth Certificate, insurance papers, bank info, credit cards, cash. As much bottled water and food as I have on hand.


2. You have twenty-four hours to leave your home, knowing that you will never be back, and anything you leave behind will be destroyed or gone. What do you take? (assuming all the people are taken care of)

All of the above, plus my tent and sleeping bag (which stay in the trunk of my car anyway, so I guess I'd have those for #1, too). Extra clothes, extra shoes. Lots of water. I'd probably backup as much of my computer as I could and take the CD/DVD with me. My picture box. More food.

3. For those of you that have a car: Now answer 1 & 2 assuming you don't. For those of you that don't, assume you do (just a regular-size car, not a Hummer!).
Without a car? I'm pretty much back to answer #1, with as much food & water as I could carry in a backpack.

4. You have to go at least 100 miles away (and if you're coastal, inland) to be safe. Where would you go? Family? Friends? A shelter? How would you get
there?


I've a sister in Ottawa, so that's most likely where I would head. Failing that, I have family in both St. John's & Vancouver, so I'd head out further, if that was needed. M's only 100k away, so his place wouldn't be far enough. I might try to meet up with him and head for his Mom's up north, though...

5. How much would losing your home and possessions affect your life? Would you recover faily quickly? Or would it be disastrous for you?

There's very I little I own that's irreplaceable. Sure, I'd be upset, but I don't think it would be disastrous.
