Gear - Are you prepared?

Before you can survive the apocalypse, do you have what you need to wait out a regular disaster?
ReadyNYC has a list of everything you would need for in-home supplies, as well as a Go-Bag (in event of emergency Grab Bag and GO!)
I'll post their requisites here for convenience.

• EMERGENCY KIT
• One gallon of drinking water per person per day
• Non-perishable, ready-to-eat foods and manual can opener
• First aid kit
• Flashlight (LED flashlights are more durable and last up to 10 times longer than traditional bulbs)
• Battery-operated AM/FM radio and extra batteries (you can also buy wind-up radios that do not require batteries)
• Whistle
• Iodine tablets or one quart of unscented bleach (for disinfecting water ONLY if directed to do so by health officials) and eyedropper (for adding bleach to water)
• Personal hygiene items: soap, feminine hygiene products, toothbrush and toothpaste, etc
• Phone that does not rely on electricity
• Child care supplies or other special care items
• GO BAG
• Copies of your important documents in a waterproof and portable container (insurance cards, photo IDs, proof of address, etc.)
• Extra set of car and house keys
• Credit and ATM cards and cash, especially in small denominations
• Bottled water and non-perishable food such as energy or granola bars
• Flashlight (LED flashlights are more durable and last up to 10 times longer than traditional bulbs)
• Battery-operated AM/FM radio and extra batteries
• Keep a list of the medications each member of your household takes, why they take them, and their dosages. Medication information and other essential personal items. If you store extra medication in your Go Bag, be sure to refill it before it expires
• First-aid kit
• Contact and meeting place information for your household, and a small regional map
• Child care supplies or other special care items

Now, there are some things you could probably omit here. For example, ATM cards and credit cards may not be necessary if you're on the run from the zombie apocalypse, but how much room do they really take up? May as well keep em. Car keys? Dump em. House keys? Lock only one lock when you finally ditch your urban zombie fortress and keep that single key somewhere safe and out of the way in your pack. Also, anything that recommends batteries (excepting flashlights maybe) should be hand cranked.
Now, this is a list for specifically natural disasters, but it's a good starting place. In the days and weeks to come, I'll be adding to this list for more specific scenarios: The Fortress, On Foot, Scouting Missions, etc.
