Worth, also, having ideas and preps for if your family is required to evacuate for some civil defense reason, even if it's to a well-supported "authority" place of safety: your kids will appreciate your bringing some things that less well prepared parents might not think of when required to leave their home at 20 minutes' notice because of a chemical fire in your locality, or some such.

Starting at the "more probable" end of prepping, I think, can focus your efforts, compartmentalise them and will still help begin building a "ready for anything" setup.
Brilliant suggestion I hadnt thought about what happens if it kicks off whilst I am at work I was working on the assumption we would all be together.

I need to come up with a get home plan.
