Truly excellent post Anchor!

Thank you for both taking the time to compile this information and subsequently sharing it with all of us here.

You structured it so well that I'll be printing it out and using it as a checklist.

You mentioned in your pre-list post that you want get people at least thinking about these things which I wholeheartedly agree with.
I too have been doing research of this type and have found opportunities every other day or so to work progressively on preparedness goals.

You're dead on correct about the importance of toilet paper.
A simple thing everyone can do is simply not finish the entire roll you have going in you're bathroom right now.
Save the last quarter of it; they're easy then to compact. Consider getting a vacu-sealer to keep them nice and tidy dry.
And/or invest in resealable waterproof bags (not the kitchen type, the heavy duty kind you can get in stores that sell a wide range of camping gear).

On a related tip, I have a question(s) for you that I have not read techniques on nor have I seen discussion about:

Have you come across any suggestions for alternate forms of local communication during a 'basic systems down' scenario?
How can we get messages and instructions to friends/relatives/lovers if we're separated across town from each other?
(I'm thinking - no mobile or land phone, no postal, neither pony express nor carrier pigeon)
