Can the container be the car? I've lived in my car before. Insurance paperwork (to hopefully be able to get $ for the destruction of the house), phone & chargers, IDs, all my underwear, a change of clothes. Work would probably let me park it in the garage while I was recovering from the loss, if I can keep the job, will land on my feet. If not, things quickly devolve.

This answer assumes the other residents of the house are all ok and not part of this scenario, and I only have to worry about me.

When we have had pending natural disaster, we bring clothes, kids & pets, have documents already in plastic bags, stow my car on second floor of work garage and fill coolers with ice, we have a protocol for hurricanes, but fire is a wildcard.
