We just stumbled on a longer preparedness items list (a.k.a. 72Hour/Ready Bag) than what is usually suggested by the official and unofficial Emergency/Preparedness sites
It comes from the Preparing Your Home, Family, and Business for Terrorist Attacks manual, by Congressman Robert Pittenger and the Congressional Taskforce on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare.

1. The addition of Chlorine disinfectants (Lysol or Clorox sprays)
2. The addition of Cartridge and filter masks (stand to reason since it is a terrorist attack preparedness list)
and...
3. The extended shelf-stable food items suggested.
We may be reading a lot to this, but unofficial observations and reports from preparedness exercises around the US tell us that meaningful/mass aid for the public will not come until after a week or more.
Here is the list:
