Ranking emergency evacuation equipment in the order I'd pack it

This entry will be public so that it can be accessed by anyone in case they need it (if they agree with me). I will explain my order below the list, since in case someone needs it, they wouldn't have the time to read the explanations.

1. Water (around a gallon per person a day for several days, for hydration & sanitation)

2. Food (a several day supply of non-perishable food, like canned goods)

27. Matches in waterproof container

29. Books, games, puzzles or other activities for children

Basically I put them in an order from ones that are most to least important, but you have to remember that each individual and each emergency requires different action. Of course the top priority is water & food, especially water, since that's what keeps us alive. Same as prescription medications - especially if they're essential for someone to stay alive. I mean, it's more important to take your heart medication or insulin than taking your antidepressants. A battery powered radio is there so that you can stay tuned & receive emergency information in case electricity gets cut off. A first aid kit & non-prescription medication will help you in case of a medical problem, however they can often be purchased or given out in place. A cell phone will help you stay in touch & possibly call for help. A dust mask is important, but it depends. It will be much more important for an epidemic or nuclear emergency rather than a tornado. Of course take important documents & cash (while refuge camps often give out supplies charitably, you never know, and you might as well have to purchase something). A change of clothing is also important, since if you wear the same clothes for a long time it will get musty, unpleasant and might possibly attract infections. You should have at least one change of clothing, underwear, and something to sleep in. Then, I'd bring stuff for the children & pets (if you have them), like infant formula or dog food & any visual aide you might need, like eyeglasses. Then I put mostly the hygiene stuff since I can't stand being unhygeniec, & then some stuff that you can roll without but will still be useful. However it also varies from person to person & emergency to emergency, for example in a blizzard event a warm blanket will be prioritised more than durimg a drought event. Of course fun stuff like books & games has to come last. Still good if you have it though!
