Absolutely we have one! We live in the middle of a forest with the highest fire index in the North. It's only a matter of time before we have to evacuate. This place will burn someday. Even if it doesn't (and we do have a plan to save our house if we can), we will have to leave at some point when a fire gets too close. I wouldn't be suprised if it's this summer. Forest fire season is starting early!
Moving 22 dogs and 8 cats is not something that can be done without planning. We have a plan to get them out, an emergency kit of their medications, food, leashes, critter first aid stuff, kennels, ect. We have an arrangement with friends for a place to take them, actually several friends depending on the direction of the fire.
I also have a special box of stuff that I would grab on my way out the door--the negatives of our wedding pics, family treasures that wouldn't mean a thing to my insurance company but can't be replaced. Everything else can burn.
