You know it sounds like I had better get busy and put together a bug-out bag as Anniebare called it, I live in the armpit of California and do not feel to many if even any of the small earth quakes that happen around us so I do not think about such a thing, the clothes come off after work and stay off till the next morning to leave to work again.
"NOTE TO SELF"
Put together a little something for a emergency this weekend it is beeter to be safe than sorry.

Where I live we are also advised to have a 'bug-out bag' as Anniebare puts it, but in the list I saw with what we should put in it clothes were not mentioned, only esential medecines, personal documents, torch and so on.

When I saw this title I thought more on the lines of when things in the home no longer function like power,water etc and you need to shower and your neighbor has a working outdoor shower but the storm knocked over the privacy screen around it how would you deal with showering in the nude where anyone passing by would see you. I had to do that very same thing after about 3 hurricanes hit florida one year, we were on well water so when power is out our water was out too, but it rained often enough that on back patio water would funnel off roof create natures shower to use, so we did and was no way to hide from view it was just feet from sliding glass door to the main area of house. It took about after 24 hrs of no power for everyone in house to toss out their fear of nudity and openly bathe in rain water.

During a Hurricane a few years back I went outside naked with my wind meter. BTW I should check those batteries. I could have done a spot for Nudes in the News. Also, after the power went out they told everyone to pee outside because the pumping substation might overflow. We were told to reserve the toilets for number 2. The power came back on and the sewage never got backed up, all was well. All of this was a lot easier because we are in a nudist community.

Never really thought about it, even though I'm in tornado territory. This house is so old, if it ignited, I'd feel lucky enough to get out before it disintegrated.

Not only do we have something, near our bed, to cover us should we have to evacuate quickly in the middle of the night, we also have bug out bags in all our cars.
We've saved several pieces of clothing from that which we were about to donate; pants, t shirts, sweatshirts, sneakers, and a couple pairs of socks. Each of us has one in each car we drive. If we are able to recover one of our cars or at least get to one ... we'll be better off in something other than a robe.
If not ... and the robe is all there is ... that's all there is til we can get to something else. I still stand by getting out of your home alive and not worry so much about being seen or caught naked. I've worked a great number of fires in my career where we encountered both male and female occupants, naked on the sidewalk. Easy enough to get them a blanket and have them sit in the warmth of a fire engine or police car til we are able to retrieve clothes for them or Red Cross responds with clothing ... which is usually quite quickly.
Way back when ... we didn't fight fire in our turnout boots, just our turnout jacket, uniform pants, helmet and breathing apparatus. I was working in West Hollywood and we had an apartment fire. We weren't the first one's on scene but when we did arrive, a young couple came running out of the building and had nothing on. Being on the paramedic squad at the time, we were told to evaluate evacuees for injuries and smoke inhalation.
It was a very cold night and I took the couple to our squad where I had her slip into my turnout boots/pants and gave her my heavy jacket to wear. Her male companion was 6'4" ... I'm 5'8" ... he wasn't gonna fit in "my" boots and pants! But we found him stuff to put on. Once Red Cross arrived, she was able to find something more "fashionable" to wear and gave me back my turnout boots/pants but kept the jacket til we left.
Ya just make due when times are difficult. I've seen neighbors respond to other neighbors they do not know and offer clothing, blankets, food, drink and a warm house to stay until they are able to return to their home or other help arrives, like family.
It's good to be prepared!

Well depending where one lives i.e rural areas or areas surrounded by neighbors the simple solution would be to have a bathrobe and a bag of clothes to put on as soon as the unexpected happens you run out of your home wearing a robe.

This classic pic is to me a sobering remindering that disaster-related nudity is just mostly gut-wrenching. And a reminder of our vulnerability as human being.
Of all the situations that I prepared, for napalm from the South Vietnamese isn't one of them. And I believe she wasn't nude when the attack started; her clothes were burned off.

At 4am on May 20th, 2012, we had a 6.3 earthquake. Of course, I was sleeping nude when it woke me up. Fortunately, I had the presence of mind to put something on before going out onto the street, where the entire neighborhood had gathered.
Maybe for the next one, I'll just run out the way I am!

I used to think that "we" live in earthquake country. Seemed, in the past, all the earthquakes happened here in So Cal. But as time has passed ... more and more areas of the country experience earthquakes and for those that do not get them with regularity ... it can shake the nerves as well as the body and the buildings.
We have them so often ... I sometimes think we take them for granted and don't always respond to them as we should. We've been in bed and we've had one and though we get up and sit on the edge of the bed ... many times we haven't gotten up and gone to a safe place. The major portion of the quake stops and we climb back into bed but don't usually fall back to sleep as we await the after shocks.
We haven't had one in a while ... one of any significance but we do have the small ones frequently. Some we feel, others we don't. It's part of living here in So Cal and sometimes because they happen so frequently ... we tend to shrug them off as no big deal. We should always be prepared regardless of how common they've become.

Let's have a race, FireProf, between nothern and southern California to see who can host an earthquake first. Good vibrations!
It will most likely happen when neither one of us has anything on, but would have been better off with something on for that disaster.
