Cover(s) for status and cover for action are occasionally war-gamed during family dinners.
I suppose it depends on if the raiders are state sponsored or not. If not, we can hold until relieved.
Firearms are PACE for handguns only. Still short on full complement of defensive ammo, but have enough of ball to backfill. Working on ACE for shotgun and carbines.
I'm in a major urban area. We (spouse and I) have two backpacks (35 & 25lbs.) ready to go. This includes a homeless disguise that will work from dusk to dawn during egress and in appropriate locations during daylight. Dog tracking is a viable concern and contingency has been planned. Multiple routes have been walked and barking dogs noted.
We have access to a friend's (safe) house with stored supplies six blocks away. Those supplies include two mountain bikes with saddlebags prepacked w 40lbs. food/water/gear. Safe house also has a SUV (w bike rack) that I will 'borrow' as necessary.
From there decision to stay vs. move via foot/bike/vehicle will occur.
Within 2 miles of major Interstates running N/S/E/W. Safe house options within/outside metro area w friends/family/unknown are available in multiple locations. Extensive bike trail system exists as well terminating within the city or various wilderness open spaces/parks. May use homeless disguise to reach Interstate and hitchhike out of area.
You do not own anything that you cannot carry at a dead run for as long as you need to!
