My house on fire and I got 2 minutes? Hmm...

First 30 seconds - Grab anything valuable - computer server (luckily my server cabinet comes with a handle on top :D ), pack of DVDs (I do put the valuable ones aside in a neat little packing, just for emergencies like this), and yell at my wife and Mom in the meanwhile.

Second 30 seconds - Run around and make a quick peek through all the rooms for a surreptious (sp?) glance for anything of value - clothes I would skip, as with other heavy objects.

Third 30 seconds - Jump into the bedroom and take some (if not all) cash out. Important to have funds in hand.

Last 30 seconds - Make a hasty dash out with family members, and call the Firemen from the cell.


That oughta do it. :) Although I separated the entire happening into 30 second-brackets, I wont be exactly checking out the watch while doing all the stuff I mentioned above, for sure.

Actually, it helps immensely to have a calm mind when facing such a sort of emergency.
