Very practical, thorough advice.
Unfortunately, if you are laid off, you probably won't have as much time as you'd like to formulate a plan, make a full list of people you know, create your forms, or prepare to transfer your files. However, if you are well organized, you shouldn't need much time. You should keep a full, completely updated contact list at all times, even if you have no intention to leave the firm; you can keep your files organized in such a way that you'd be ready to transfer them at a moment's notice; and of course you should always have a plan for the future. You won't be able to plan for everything, and you'll have to update the plan when unexpected things happen, but is is always a good idea to know what your long term plan is and what steps you intend to take to succeed.
