Well, we have two kids and three cats and would be evacuating in a Nissan Altima. We just got back on Sunday from a week-long road trip. For this road trip, we completely filled the trunk with mundane necessities like clothes and Kiera's crib (she sleeps in a pack-and-play, so we just take it along when traveling). In an emergency evacuation, we would take fewer clothes and skip the crib, but we would have to bring the cats, and would want to bring a lot more food.
The net result is that we'd bring the laptop and we'd cram in photos wherever I could find a few inches of space. I would wear the necklace left to me by my grandmother. Nothing else would fit, and in fact we might not be able to bring most of the photos. Fortunately, we have regularly sent photos to all our relatives and could assemble a fairly decent album of lovely pictures of our kids, just from "backup" copies in Wisconsin, Massachusetts, and Ohio.
I have a good (online) friend who lives on the Alabama coast. They had to leave behind almost all the sentimental stuff (like the letters she'd saved from her now-senile grandmother) because they just didn't have space. She thinks her house is still standing and not flooded (based on what she's heard about other houses in her neighborhood) but probably has no roof.
