We have a decent emergency kit setup now, similarly born of a "when the big one hits" mentality. I found a good place to start was to buy prepacked bug-out bags from Amazon and supplement with additional items. We bought three: one for the humans, one for the dog, and a smaller one to keep in the car. They came with the basics (nutrition bars, water packs, mylar blankets, flashlights, first aid, masks, gloves, goggles, radios, whistles, tape, etc.), which we supplemented with tools, pantry items, changes of clothes, personal medications, card games, coloring books, headlamps, extra pairs of eyeglasses, etc. Stored important documents in one of these (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075J4GTY5) and repacked everything into two sturdy backpacks for "grab and go" (the ones Amazon sends are pretty cheap/flimsy), plus one large bin for the house. Truthfully, a lot of the camp stuff we brought to Burning Man years ago has been applicable here, so this list ( https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AnZUbqyodtS2cGpZMG4yaWY2SDJYVTlyUkExOVBNWFE&output=html) may be worth cross-checking if you want to get comprehensive. Also like the idea of keeping kits in two different parts of the house. Good luck!
