I've learnt over the years that being prepared can make such a difference when things get a little crazy. We have all our mobiles ICE'ed, and we have an little ICE bag hanging up. The ICE bag has a short list of what to grab quickly & from where. It has spare keys, a portable HD (personal/business docs, photos, home movies, etc), & a list of phone calls that will need to be made if we lose everything.... and importantly where to meet up in case we lose touch.
