Safety drill: Winter Evacuation plan?

Wish I had the van as a evacuation destination! But, we are a one car family and it travels with hubby to work all day.

Another reason I require running shoes for indoor wear. If we have to leave winter or summer their feet are covered.

There area adult and child fleece ponchos that you could buy or have made. That would be like throwing a blanket over each one but still allow them to walk. Actually something to look into for those doign school runs as it would give a layer top and bottom and block wind going over whatever the child has on that day.

I hear ya ~ I did not get my van until 2010 so I had several years of having to walk/bus places with the children lugging around all the emergency gear ... do you at least have a storage place onsite to keep a big Rubbermaid container with emergency provisions for yourself and the kids? Or you could keep it in the basement and just toss it out the window with you in a fire?

Yes, I think the Rubbermaid is my best plan:)

Can you keep the bin inside near the window it stays warm and in the event you were trapped in teh basement it would be useful still ie an earthquake or something. Leaving it outside runs the risk of it disappearing, getting frozen shut, the contents deterriorating too quickly, frozen water or juice is not usable, etc.
