Evacuation Plans

Not long ago I read about a tanker truck that overturned causing neighborhoods to be evacuated.



We are not too far from the Maine Turnpike. When the wind is right, we can hear the traffic noise.



Of course, if the wind was wrong, at the wrong time, we would be impacted by a tanker spill.



Yesterday I was thinking about how we would get out if we had to evacuate. I pulled up Google maps and looked for alternative ways away from the turnpike. It would bring us to roads we do not use and are not familiar with - back country.



Im going to drive those roads sometime soon. I am also going to put together a plastic bin with some basic stuff we can just grab if we have to go.



When being prepared is so easy, why not do it?
