PLEASE care for your family photos and get them out when you evacuate. Scan them beforehand, put them on portable disk drives or other media, and send them or e-mail them to other family members so you have backups and yours aren't the only copies.
It breaks my heart to hear that some of the descendants I've been searching for for years lost all their family photographs years before in a fire or flood.
