So getting back to my original question; In the event I end up in a shelter (regardless of why). The shelter ammenities will range from three hots and a cot indoors on the nice side, to a square of asphalt in a parking lot and whatever the food bank has on the low side.

I should bring something to sleep on (air matress, linens, earplugs, sleepmasks, and pharmacuticals).
Possible shelter (large tarp or cheap tent, rigging supplies)
Something to amuse myself with (books, games, anything not requiring batteries)
Any drugs (perscription and OTC) that I might need.

Anything else, or have I got it?
