Add to the list portable radio, flashlight, batteries, candles, matches. Walkie talkies in case phones are knocked out(a lot of people have the new FRS/GMRS radios with 2-8 mile range).

I could not update this posting, but on my own site, I have already updated the essay to contain most all of what you have mentioned...HERE.

Including a much needed seventh lesson.

Thanks!
