Grab & Go Lists

I was talking to someone recently about evacuating your home in case of fire and what you would grab first if you had some time.  They told me an idea that I think would be very helpful in many different evacuation situations - to make a three level grab and go list. 

Level 1 - 5 Minute List
Level 2 - 15 Minute List
Level 3 - 30 Minute List

Within these three lists, list all items in order of priority, with highest priority first and number the items.  Then depending on the time available in an emergency, you would be able to grab the most important things first.  If you make a few copies of the list to hand to someone else, you could ask them to grab items by item number.
