Good read, Jason. Ficitious, post-apocaplyptic films are one of may favourites genres; they are so thought provoking and freak me out - so I am usually pretty stocked up with emergency supplies. I also find that those storage totes are the best solution for a household emergency kit. They keep everything dry and come in so many shapes and sizes you can usually find one to fit into any space.

Might I add one more suggestion for smaller scale emergencies that may only affect you and your immediate family? This is from a recent personal experience (when my brother's house was on fire): Keep an overnight bag/storage tote with basic toiletries and a change of clothes for each family member. Put it either in your car or at a family member/close friend's house. Make sure to have shoes and a few items for the kids. Update it seasonally. This way if you have to evacuate your own home suddenly due to a fire, flood, gas leak...you have something clean to serve your immediate needs. You may want to keep a copy of your household insurance policy information with these items.
