I'm glad everyone was OK!

Things to suggest for an MVA:

* At least two ways to charge your cellphone

* A tool to break windows

* A tool to cut seatbelts (a Houdini does both)

* First aid supplies and training

* Clothing/shelter items if rescue doesn't come quickly

* Water and food

* Paper and pen/pencil

There are plenty of other things that are handy for an MVA of course, but it might be easier to get a non-prepper or a closet prepper to carry these sorts of things.
