1. lots of clean water. absolutely vital.

2. good supplies of bandages, first aid items, and common meds for pain, colds etc. lots of OTC meds.

3. food, but can be simple. cans of tuna, crackers, granola bars, rice, canned corn. very basic stuff that kids will eat. if kids eat it, adults will too. include cookware - pots, pans, dishes, dish soap.

4. a place for people to go to the toilet. a shovel for digging. some kind of seat to go over the hole. some lime to put into the hole.

5. yes, possibly a place to bury the dead. hopefully not necessary, but you don't know.

6. more likely, a temp medical room where you can put the injured. with flat bunks, extra blankets, pillows etc. plus thermometers, BP cuffs, stethoscopes, simple meds like aspirin, tylenol, ibuprofen. lots of sterile wipes and plenty of old towels for wiping up blood, mucus and diarrhea.

7. a short wave radio with AM and FM. and spare batteries.

just some thoughts.
