Nice list, David.

Yes, I was going to point out that storing disaster supplies in a milkcrate
might merely assure they'd get soaked as a unit.  Storing the supplies in a
trashcan with a secure lid (or Rubbermaid container) is better.  Either tub
or trashcan, seal it and put a sign on it to not open except in case of
water emergency.  And check it perhaps annually, to replenish any supplies
which might "wander off."
