additional minimal size kit you might consider
an N95 mask should offer some protection against airborne alpha emitting particulate...you really don't want alpha emitters inside you...bandana
an MRE beverage bag and some ClO2 tabs easily fit in the pocket...possibly dumpster dive for a bottle, and use a provodine wipe to disinfect externally and internally
small card of duct tape to pre tape potential hot spots on your feet if a long trek is in store...stash a pair of wool socks
a small multitool like Leatherman squirt PS4 has small pliers, scissors, knife, screwdriver and is 3/4 x 2 1/4...
Good ideas Les. I seen on a website earlier where they interviewed a person via Skype from Japan. One of the most sought after items in some areas of Japan where there is extensive Tsunami damage is gum boots (or similar) with steel toes and shanks. The boots are good to keep muck out and feet dry. The steel protection to keep you from getting a puncture wound in the feet which could turn into a very bad situation real fast with no immediate first aid response forthcoming.
