Are your key photos stored on a PC?  Is the computer backed up in a different geographical location?  Consider using a commercial service that you access over the Web.  Alas, until the USA gets the bandwidth that South Koreans already have today, you won't be able to move your entire collection to safety.

No more photos like this will be permitted once the work of gathering and stacking the bodies begins.
I have heard the first reports of ripped film and smashed cameras.
