I was once told by a fire officer doing training that only thing that is irreplaceable in a house fire is family photographs, this would be the equivalent of that.
In our case all digital photos are stored on monsters laptop, backed up to other computers in case of hardware failure and some DVDs stored offsite ( including on another continent ), but that would be the grab n go item.

I recommend to family and friends that they upload family photo and video archives to Amazon S3, BackBlaze or Dropbox (or whatever).

We also have scans of most of the important documents on there......

I'd grab my two cats. They'd be such a handful, I doubt if I could take anything else. Which reminds me, I need to buy a cat carrier big enough for them both.
