Keep at least a week's worth of any prescription medications ahead of your regular refill, and store a printed list of names, doses, and prescribers with your kit. Pharmacies can be closed or out of stock for days after a disaster, and that written list speeds care if you end up somewhere new.
Store a gallon of water per person per day and aim for a three-day supply at minimum. Refill sealed store-bought jugs every year, and keep a few in the freezer—they hold cold during outages and become drinking water as they thaw.

Put a contact card in every backpack and wallet: names, an out-of-area contact, and your two meeting places. Kids included.
Photograph your utility shutoffs — gas, water, electric — today, while it's calm. During an emergency is the worst time to be hunting for the right valve.
