Is having a storage container or some sort of lock box with more supplies in it worth it?

I live in semi-dense populated area here at school, if something were to happen I would head southeast towards the parents place/girlfriends family. The area at home is mostly rural.
I would photocopy all of my important docs (license, passport, SS card, credit cards, birth certificate, wedding and divorce papers, insurance policies, etc., if the bag was going to be relatively secure) and put them in a waterproof bag. Then conceal the docs as best you can in your BOB.

Just my .02, YMMV.
