> 3. 24 - 48 hours worth of supplies. Water is essential, also consider food bars, batteries, and of course any medication.

The region that's on fire is like an hour's drive away from Berkeley. Unless you anticipate camping on the freeway, I don't see how 48 hours of water is really an essential. The supply chain isn't in much danger except in the very local area you would be evacuating.

This is more blanket advice rather than anything specific to OP's situation.

In Australia we've had bush fires hit remote communities who've then been short on all sorts of supplies for days at a time. Not to mention in having an extra days worth of 'stuff' you'll have enough to go around.
