When forced to evacuate, prioritize transporting a few handguns and essential long guns by covering them with blankets or luggage for discretion. For larger collections, invest in long-term storage solutions like corrosion-prevention bags from brands such as Xeros, available at retailers like Brownells, to protect firearms from environmental damage like flooding. Recognize that not all firearms can be transported, and consider the limitations of standard gun safes against determined intruders.
