Sheesh...great list. The only thing I'd add is a scanner. Peregrino put a bug in my ear about this...can't remember what thread...and I did a lot of research prior to purchasing a good digital trunk-tracker. We had a local weather emergency recently and I was amazed at the amount of info flowing from the police, fire depts., SKYWARN, the power company, state disaster agencies, public service departments, ambulances, flight for life, etc. I'm addicted to this thing. It would be invaluable for getting road closure info, disaster coverage area, etc.
I'm putting together a post for getting the least expensive scanner possible in light of the trunking or conventional systems in use in your area, how to locate frequency and talk group info, etc. I hope to have it ready when we hit comms.
