Irma Prep Help

What's up everyone. I might be getting hit hard by this hurricane. I need some help/advice. I have my entire collection currently between two pieces of foam board layered in tissue paper and kraft paper. There's a chance (probably very good) that I'll have to evacuate. I have tubes. Is my best bet just rolling everything up (could use some help/youtube vids on how to roll without damaging anything) into tubes? I could also wrap the tubes in saran wrap I guess?
Any and all help really appreciated.

Do you have binder clips pinching off your foam core sandwich? Often I've safely transported up to twenty-five prints in a foam core sandwich. But be sure to add plenty of clips to the four sides, and slip a clear plastic bag over the sandwich and, even better, double bag it and tape the ends.

I have a few framed. Nothing fancy though. The joys of getting into the hobby when you're in college/living at home is saving it all and planning the framing for when you have your own place.
Trust me I plan on sending my Sperry Black Sabbath to Furthur as soon as I have my own place.

Yeah. Currently it's all clipped together and in a bag

i moved an absurd amount of art up from Key Largo to Miami today. Many originals and priceless pieces from a 100 year old family estate there. Tomorrow I begin packing up my substantial art collection here in Miami. At least 100 pieces on the wall, some large sculptures, and 500 flat. weeeeeeeeee.

Good luck and be safe! Hopefully the tracks showing it moving east remain right and the eye stays out in the water.
