Natural Disaster Prep: Your Top 5 Non-Food Essentials?

[BlueSkyWanderer]

Natural disaster prep goes beyond food storage. Got me wondering - what are your top 5 non-food essentials for critical situations? I'm speaking of items that can see you through earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, and so on. Not looking for weaponry or tools, but stuff like water filters, medical supplies, etc. Fire away, folks!

For sure, solid prep goes beyond food. My top 5: water purification tablets or a LifeStraw, a weather radio for updates on the situation, a well-stocked first aid kit, a hand crank flashlight, and thermal blankets. Each can be a real lifesaver! Has anyone thought about including entertainment items, to help pass time or calm nerves?
