others have barrels of fresh water and weeks of dry food. but again, not portable. totally depends on the circumstance.
in general tho, plan on a few days of fresh water (or ability to make it potable) and food for each member of the family. a month's supply of meds. essential documents and maybe a hard drive full of pics. fuel and cash if you're planning on going mad max and wandering the desert

Water
