Evacuation Prep:

As the world changes, it is important to be prepared to safely and efficiently evacuate your home, potentially with little or no warning. Preparing ahead of time can help to reduce stress and anxiety, and help you evacuate safely if the time comes.

Red Level (No Warning): People | Pets | Keys. Human life matters most. If you can’t rescue your pets, let them out to give them their best chance. If evacuating by car, don’t forget your keys.

Orange Level (Less Than an Hour): Crucial Meds | Important Papers | Money | Paper Map | Pet Vaccination Records. Crucial meds and medical equipment. Papers including passports, birth certificates, medical records, etc.. Multiple forms of payment. Paper map with marked evac routes in case of signal loss. Phone. Most evac centers require vaccine records for pets to be allowed in.

Yellow Level (More Than an Hour): Photos | Hard Drives | Computers | Chargers | Irreplaceable Items | OTC Meds | Pet Supplies | Pet Food | Clothes | Weather Gear. Family photos. Hard drives and computers. Make digital backups ahead of time. Charging cords. Irreplaceable items such as collectibles and mementos. Over the counter medical supplies such as Aspirin and tampons. Pet supplies such as bowls, crates, toys, and litter. Pet food and treats. Clothes. If you are running out of time grab your laundry basket. Weather gear if needed.

Green Level (General Preparedness): Food | Water | Radio | N95 Masks | Multitool | Power Pack | Gas | Stove + Fuel | Flashlight | Toiletries | Emergency Contact Info | Bedding | First Aid | Can Opener. Easy prep, shelf-stable food. Water. Battery powered/rechargeable NOAA weather radio. N95 masks for smoke. A multitool. Rechargeable power pack for phones. Keep your car at least partially fueled at all times. Portable stove and fuel for cooking food without power. Flashlight and spare batteries. Toiletries including hair products, toothbrush and paste, etc.. Emergency contact info for friends and loved ones. Spare pillows and blankets. Dedicated first aid kit. Can opener.

Save yourself time and stress by preparing an evacuation bag ahead of time and keep it in an easy to access place. At the end of every season rotate out the perishable items within such as food, water, and medications. The more you can keep in the bag, the more time you’ll have to grab everything else. Remember, it is okay if you can’t do everything. Some preparation is better than no preparation.

If you are in the U.S.A. and experiencing disaster related anxiety call the Disaster Distress Hotline at 1-800-985-5990 for support and resources.

I was mainly talking about the deleted karaoke scene that a lot of people are complaining about not getting. I, of course, was also really excited to see it, but if they had to remove it to include more of what was happening with Chimney, then I'm not gonna be upset about it. I tried to word it the best I could, but people can still like certain scenes from Character centric episodes. Like the bucktommy kiss that we got in the hospital, it was AMAZING!!! I wanna to talk a little bit about that.

I have seen people picking out the tiniest things, just to hate on Tommy. Like how he "didn't put any effort in his outfit for the bachelor party." Tommy literally says he's on standby, which means he could be called into work at any moment. Some people were saying he could still dress up because he had to change into his uniform anyway. If you really thought about it, you would know that first responders have to be extremely quick in getting their gear/uniforms on. If Tommy dressed up in a suit for example, that would take longer to change out of, instead he wore a Henley (which still technically fits the 80s theme) where he could easily take it off or put his gear on over top.

Another thing that people have gotten mad about is that Tommy didn't say anything to buck about his face being covered in soot. (Are you kidding me?!) We don't know if he didn't say anything since the scene cut as they were still kissing, and we didn't see them again until they walked back into the room. Most likely Tommy did say something, he probably burst out laughing when they pulled back and he saw Buck face (who wouldn't laugh?) And Buck being buck decided not to do anything about it and use it as his way of coming out to the people who he still hasn't told yet. You can clearly see when Chimney says, "You two were....busy." Buck looks a little nervous. He's blushing, he's smiling, and he takes a deep breath that makes his should go up. Buck knew that he had soot on his face. He wouldn't be acting like that if he didn't. If he truly didn't know, then we would have gotten him looking more confused as to why Chimney said that and why everyone was looking at them. But we didn't.

Also, the people who are coming up with the the smallest things just to hate Tommy?!

This man was gone on shift for 24 hours at a fire, he was probably exhausted, wanted a shower, hungry...ect but he still showed up at the hospital to see Buck and be Buck's date like he said he was. And people want to hate him and say he doesn't care?!

But if the tables were reversed and it was Eddie who was the one at a fire for 24 hours, exhausted, covered in soot, but still showed up for Buck (in the scenario that Bucks not with him). Everyone would be over the moon, praising him, and saying how good he is for Buck.
