When things go catawampus, essential personnel are required to go in while everybody else is told to stay home. During the '03 fires, I was told to stay home from work, but my boss was required to come in. The heads of banks and other financial institutions qualify as "essential personnel". Getting home afterwards may be a problem, and it's not inconcievable that they may have to wait out the crisis at the office.
If the "Dynamo rechargable lantern with AM/FM radio" and the "Reusable solar blanket" are COTS (Civilian Off The Shelf) items, that's $35-$40 right there. And, we're talking Dorcy and Coast level quality, not Eton and Midland level quality.
EDIT: If somebody is not used to carrying a pocket knife or multi-tool, including one may cause more problems then it solves. The last thing anybody needs is a NKP who needs to be stitched up because they haven't learned out to keep their appendages away from the edge.
