The Floods HMMMMMM?

[Tipi]

If the downstairs is under 4 feet of water and the electricity is out and you have to bug out upstairs for 2 or 3 days, with the kids and pets, until you are (or want to be) rescued, would you be able to get the following together upstairs at short notice:

Drinking water
Medication
Safe lighting (torches, glow sticks or candle lanterns)
Cat litter/dog toilet pads/nappies
A means of toiletting yourself and kids
Power pack for mobile phones (if network is working)
Radio (battery operated)
Food that does not require cooking
And something to eat it with
Stair gate so curious kids and pets don't fall in the flood water
Important telephone numbers and documents (i.e. Insurance)

Could you get this together in 15 minutes? One flood victim at the weekend said the water rose from 3 inches to 3 feet in 15 minutes.

And remember, if you are evacuated from your upstairs room, do you have everything you, your kids and pets need for a few days in a shelter (or hotel) already with you upstairs?

It's the little things that matter when your family is distressed.
