Sounds like you're getting the basics down, and now its a case of improving your conditions if the worst hits. I suggest off the bat 1.) a first aid kit. Red Cross sells a great soft kit you can stow in either home or car; and 2. foods ready to eat that don't take a lot of fancy preparations. I kept a stock of energy bars. Not gourmet but they're a meal in a pinch.

For hurricanes, the power might be out for weeks. In addition to the barbeque grill, a camping cookstove and a couple of bottles of propane will help you cook some of those frozen and canned goods. A trip to the sporting goods/camping supply store can give you some ideas, and now should be a good time (not quite camping season yet.).

For earthquakes, it was suggested to us to partner with a family or a friend outside your area code that you can call out and send word of your condition. Keeps the local phones from being tied up by the "Are you all right? I'm fine call."
