I sincerely hope you are safe and stay that way. In short, take what you need, not what you want. Papers, documentations, anything that holds your past and present together, should you lose everything. You'd be surprised how a few, small mementos can tie you to family and friends as well.
I lived in the Old Town section of Lake Oswego back in 1989 for a year and always wished I could have stayed there. I've always had thoughts of maybe relocating somewhere, back up north, and put L.A. in my rearview mirror but I'm the kind who follows the news, science, and the like and knew what a tinderbox the NorthWest could become.
It's truly awful what's happening to our climate and the results it's having on our land and lives. I have a couple of cousins up in Santa Rosa who are in the same situation as you: packed up and ready to evacuate, and they've lived there for the better part of 40+ years.
I hope you manage to avoid the worse and that there are better days ahead for you.
All the best,
Nonoise
