+This is a bag you can grab as you run out of the house in an emergency.  Emergencies like: flooding, fire, hurricane, etc.  What would you put in it?  What kind of bag to use (maybe a backpack)?  Maybe more than one bag?\\ You're basically looking for things to bring as you escape to a safer place, realizing that it might take a day or three to get there and you might be stranded in your car for a while (e.g., in a traffic jam).
