Washed out roads

Is your bug out location or camp located on a dirt road?  If so, do any streams run under that road?  If so, what is the possibility that the road could be washed out during heavy rains?

A couple of years ago some heavy rain came through and washed out a culvert on my mom and dads land.  This left about 20 acres of land that we could not drive to.  The only access we had was by foot.

So keep in mind natural disaster that could affect your bug out plans, or even how bad weather can affect your plans after the fact.  Is there a possibility that bad weather could wash out any roads or bridges along your route?

Luckily for us the county came though a few weeks later and fixed the road.  If we would have been in a long term disaster situation, my family and I would have had to fix the culvert by hand.  It would have taken a little while, but we could have fixed it.   This small stream empties into a larger creek about 100 yards from the road.  If nothing else, my family and I could have packed 5 gallon buckets of sand to fill in the holes around the culvert.
