I have to agree on this.
I do not think that carrying a dust mask, water and xenon flashlight every time you go underground in a subway is worth the trouble. I like to travel light (assuming I don't carry a briefcase or bag all the time; then it would be a different story and I would probably carry these items).
Maybe i'm saying this because I never experienced a tornado or hurricanes... but when it comes to survival, I think of "backcountry", "wilderness" and "8-hour drive fishing trip with nobody around". I am not too concerned by urban survival.
Just my opinion. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
