You won't remember
Do the terms Fight or Flight, Lizard brain, or Gross motor function ring a bell? They all reference a human's inability to think and function well when under severe stress, like in an emergency. Scientific studies have consistently shown that high stress levels have detrimental effects on cognitive (brain) functions, particularly memory and decision-making.
A child going missing is definitely a high-stress situation, not to mention extremely time-sensitive! Wasting time and energy trying to remember certain details, some of which could be crucial, is not helpful to anyone, particularly your child. Don't rely on your brain to perform under pressure, prepare in advance for emergencies.
