Seriously, the basic 3 days of food, water, meds etc. as a minimum if you are thinking of more than very short term survival. I agree with not locking the shelter but correctly securing items inside would be an option.I am hurricane,power outage,ice storm prepared- a tornado not so much. I've been through 3 in my life and they scare the "heck" out of me. For the long term it is surprising what everyday things turn into luxury items-dental floss, toothpicks, Qtips, cleans socks and underwear etc. The time I was able to evacuate it became very apparent that you can't round it and take it all with you-especially on short notice. If you treat it like a camping trip of X number of days for X number of people it might help with your planning. Good luck-plan for the worse and hope for the best.
