Think fast: What would you take?

I live in beautiful Portland, Oregon.
Pandemics, riots, rain, no rain, economic turmoil, comets...
Now we have devastating fires. 
One of my audio buddies is waiting in an evacuation center, awaiting the horrible news that he's lost his home. A couple others are at level 2 ready to abandon their homes. These guys are the best audiophile guys you could ever hope to have around. You probably know them.
With light rain in the forecast (Monday), I feel fairly safe.
But, I have collected one small suit case, just in case. My car will be loaded with camping gear. A photo album. Maybe a friend or 2.
Of the items in my listening room, I know I can't take any equipment. Maybe a couple Lps? No, I could replace those. 
So, I ask you: What would you take?
Hopefully, you'll never be in such a situation.

A quick update: we’ve had sunshine since Friday. A bit of rain and wind came along and cleared the skies above Portland.  As most people know, there are still fires throughout Oregon and California.  My audio friend down in Gold Hill- stay safe and ready. Lots of devastation around you. Medford, Talent...
 Many thanks to this great community for suggesting what’s important and what to take in an hours notice.  This is helpful for everyone- flooding down in Texas (Stevie country),  don’t stand next to THAT fire in the Great Northwest (Jimi country), hurricanes in Southeast (Jaco country)...
 Now that our long hot summer is fading away, I hope we can enjoy our music and this wonderful hobby.

Poor, poor, audition_audio, still trying to claw back some face.
Still licking your wounds?
I responded in kind....nothing more.
You're out of your element on this topic.

All the best,
Nonoise

We were ready to go, too. This is what we planned to take: Our suitcases. Plenty of water. Energy bars. Supplies for the cat (and the cat). Checkbook, wallet, credit cards, keys. As Dave said, photos of everything (on the phone). Chargers, cables; a laptop; and the NAS with all our data backups, unplugged and carried with us in the back of the car.
