It's all common sense stuff, but we can always forget to tell someone where we're going in the rush to leave. As for clothing, I do have thermal clothes that I put on / bring with me almost everytime I know I'll be in cold condition. Even if it's going to be just an hour's walk in the city. the city conditions where I live can sometimes be worst than innawoods because of humidity.
Any tips on shelter? Are we really going to need to make a raised be or can we make something like pic related?
