Disaster First Aid Kit

Counterpoint:

Disaster preparedness has not ever actually been needed by anyone who has prepared unless they live in tornado country. Disasters are rather unpredictable things otherwise they would not be disasters. And a shit ton of money has been spent on building things like fallout shelters that mainly house mice and have never actually protected anyone from dick.

A properly charged smartphone (my kit) and gassed-up car will get you pretty goddamn far in a disaster. In a real disaster you should probably get out of Dodge anyway. The biggest disaster in our country in our lifetime (Katrina) you had 3 days warning and the only people horribly affected were the ones that didn't just leave.
