as someone who has lived in and around NYC for many years, i now
always carry the following items in my regular work bag:
a mag lite or LED flashlight, leatherman or swiss army knife, comb,
sanitary supplies, a week's supply of vitamins and medication, lip
balm, band aids, a tweezer, a notebook and pen, and Ricola cough
drops. most of the reasons for each are obvious, but i want to
extol the virtues of cough drops in a crisis situation. they're
important because they soothe thirst really well in a pinch, and
they're far lighter than carrying a bottle of water. after the
blackout i was extra grateful i had them.
