Let that unease work for you.
First step: Make sure your gas tank is full. If you have to evacuate, you will get stuck in heavy traffic. You do not want to run out of gas!
Plan multiple escape routes, if possible. My old hometown posts escape route maps for each section of town on the town website. Check your town/city's website. Also check to see if your area has emergency alerts that you can sign up for.
Start making a list of what you want to take in case of evacuation. Then determine what you can realistically take with you. If you have animals, usually locals with animal trailers and land will help. If you have pets, some hotels will waive pet restrictions/requirements. The hotels where I live will also give steep discounts to evacuees.
Being proactive can relieve some of that unease. As preppers say, "Don't be scared. Be prepared!"
ETA: I will keep you and your area in my prayers. Because I live in a wildfire area, I've been at the "Get ready to go" stage. Thankfully I have not gotten the "Go now!" order. So, I understand your unease.
