Folks I just happened to run across this post that I read and posted years ago .... Perhaps on the old gun forum. If you take some time you will find it is one of the better write ups on the internet about dealing with disasters and its aftermath
Funny thing you should ask that, Pappy. In 2005, following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, I posted a number of "lessons learned" to an online forum and an e-mail list to which I belong.
For the benefit of those who may be interested, I'll post all four of them below. I'd be pleased to have readers' feedback, and I hope they're of help to you.
Remember that the four posts below date from 2005 - not today!

FIRST POST
I've had over 30 people staying with me since Sunday, evacuating from New Orleans and points south in anticipation of Hurricane Katrina. Only two families were my friends - they told other friends of theirs that they knew a place where they could hole up, and so a whole bunch arrived here! I didn't mind, because there were six RV's and travel trailers, so we had enough accommodation. However, I've had the opportunity to see what worked - and what didn't - in their evacuation plans and bug-out kits, and I thought a few "lessons learned" might be appropriate to share here.
