Petruccelli says: Double-check for last minute details. Make sure that everything is in order, to the best of your
ability, before you leave.

Is the power, gas, and water turned
off?
o
Do you have everything you need? Did
you bring all your pets along?

Is the first driver well-rested or
would another couple of hours of rest do him or her a world of good? Leaving at
4am instead of 2am if you need to will still keep you out of the main flow of
traffic, so there's no need to rush since any driver needs to stay on top of
things especially during an evacuation.
