My second initial response was mementos, pictures,\u201d said Justin.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI\u2019ve never experienced this, I know what I was thinking, but I paused,\u201d said an emotional Michelle, describing the first seconds after the knock at the door. \u201cI got a couple of changes of clothes for each of us, got some snacks that I know the kids would eat, and some mementos.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWhile the family did not have go-bags ready during the drill, they grabbed essentials: important documents, changes of clothes and some food.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI thought they did a really good job,\u201d said Battalion Chief Matt Slusher with the Placer Hills Fire Department. \u201cThey worked well together. But what if one of you was not home at the time of an evacuation. What would you prioritize? For example the kids, if you had to be away for 72 hours, their homework, the things that are important to them because their lives are going to be turned upside down, how do you maintain a level of normalcy.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI was motionless,\u201d said Michelle, who is an elementary school teacher. \u201cYou need to have a go-bag, container with food and water for 72 hours. This was eye-opening.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe really appreciate the Childers family and the Placer Hills Fire Department participating in this life-like emergency drill. It\u2019s a great reminder for all of us to plan what we would do in any kind of natural disaster or other emergency, and also to practice how we would respond. It\u2019s muscle memory. You have to practice it to perfect it,\u201d said Joe Wilson, PG&amp;E\u2019s Vice President, North Valley &amp; Sierra Region.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>How Customers Can Prepare<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nHere are some simple guidelines to prepare for an emergency.\n<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\nBuild or restock your emergency kit with flashlights, fresh batteries, first-aid supplies and cash.
