- Elderly/disabled: meds list + 3-month supply, mobility plan (who physically moves grandma, with what), spare glasses/hearing-aid batteries/spare cane, their documents in your pouch.
- Pets: a month of food (rotated), carrier per animal, lead, meds, photo with you (proof of ownership), litter. Dogs earn their keep (alarm + morale); plan honestly for large-animal scenarios.
- The out-of-area contact: one relative/friend 200+ km away everyone reports to if separated — local networks jam in disasters while long-distance often works, and texts pass when calls fail. Card in every wallet.
Family-specific
Age-appropriate jobs for kids, a mobility plan for elderly relatives, a month of food for pets.
