Quarantine Planning: Necessary commodities

List of things we should purchase or have on hand prior to the outbreak of a disaster or bird flu outbreak. Again, such an outbreak may last up to a year, so think "quantity."

Toilet paper (may even become a tradable commodity if things get really bad up here.)
Feminine products
Cash (phone lines may be down and credit cards wouldn't work)
Gasoline (keep vehicle tanks full, and fill up gas cans if an outbreak occurs)
Oil
Clothing (especially for growing children)

Shoes, boots, jackets in next size up from the kid's current sizes.
Probably should have extra pair of boots for each adult too

Cigarettes? Or just tobacco & papers? Or both? Or just figure on quitting?
Batteries & radio (internet may not be available)
Ammunition & Arrow heads
Kerosene lanterns & lamp oil or kerosene

Shampoo, detergent, dish soap, and lots of lysol disinfectant
medical gloves
medical masks

Quarantine Planning: Medicine

We ARE talking about a flu pandemic, so of course we should stock up on cold/flu remedies. Especially since even the government's plans state that we'll probably be left to fend for ourselves. Don't want to wait to get these until the point that store shelves are empty.

Should check with everyone to see what prescriptions they need, and try to get as much as possible of them.

Check the status of the first aid kit, and maybe beef it up with some heavier duty items such as splints, large trauma gauze, etc.

Other stuff: Pain pills, aspirin, Rid, prep h, milk of magnesia, toothache gel, hydrogen peroxide, cough medicine,
