Suggestions on food kits make sure each kit has some of everything. Having one with all X means if it gets lost damaged you have zero of x.
First aid kits. Your I fak which should be every day carry item should be able to limp you through same amount of time as your bob. Any less makes you vulnerable, this is something our group debated long time, we settled that you ifak bob has to contain items to keep you going for up to 2 days no sleep on the run from others. Each kit is individulized for skills and needs of that person with common elements the for them.stuff is in a blue heavy ziplock inside the molle pouch rest in a make up roll up hanger easy to open and find in an emergancy.
For the other kits pandemic, precious papers, water black out and bob too much gear to kit, we have organized into rooms full of gear with some.having more than one. There are also 40 foot sea cans with shelving and rodent proof plastic tubs marked with numbers and letters only. There are master lists but if you have to find stuff without it good luck you will be busy for quiet awhile.
There are older hospitals being decommissioned you can buy some cheap gear there just be aware you may be buying contaminated stuff with resistant bacteria and fungal infestation and need to be able to clean it before bringing it back.
Having a bathroom for bathing and handicap/invalid use if you can afford it is a big bonus. We recently had a drill of of med facilities and found a few areas which needed improvement. Taking care of limited or non motile people for bathing and cleaning became an issue. Also better disposal/storage of medical waste when burning is not available. Bathrooms became issue fast both using and cleaning.
