Documents could be scanned onto a disc and that disc placed in the emergency kit. Just an idea.

Excellent idea. At a later date, I'd love to see a FR thread that detailas what could/should be in an emergency kit.

Firetrucks having trouble getting to scene due to deep water..are trying alternate route.

Bulldog6 has a police dog..I heard it bark during transmission.

There are lots of lists of emergency provisions, bags, kits on the FR

THREAT MATRIX thread. search for it for the link. Then ask on the thread. It may be at the beginning of some of them.
