We don't have an organized plan like yours yet, but one thing I think is good to have is a shoe box size plastic box for the front seat of the car. We have maps of our state and the ones near us that we could easily need to head into, small flashlight or headlamp, chemical stick, paracord, EMT shears (they can cut safety belts if there's an accident), and other small items that we don't normally carry in the car, but could need close at hand in a bug-out situation. We also bought topographic maps of our state and those same adjoining states. The ability to see which roads do NOT involve going over big hills (or rivers) could be important. And in the meantime, the kids can learn a new skill in reading those. Our medical supplies are in the laundry room, above the washer dryer. Odd place? Yes. But how many people injury themselves (other than slip and fall) in the bathroom? How many injure themselves in the yard (esp kids)? the garage? the kitchen? So you see my point - closer to where it may be used. And, if needed, it's faster and easier to grab to bug out. I'm trying to organize our stuff to help make it easier to grab and go, if needed.
