If I ever need to emergency evacuate my plan is just destroying my powder supply, both smokeless and black powders. I will take the loaded ammo. I might need to buy more powder if I am able to return, but that is better than hurting someone. Small price to pay.
Why destroy it when you have plenty of forewarning and can move it to a safe location and not have to worry if an evacuation at a moments notice is pending ?
