A cellphone...preferably a smartphone with weather/radar app, or at least a WX radio; lights, water, maybe a potty. That's all you're going to need in tornado country.

I know the plan is rescue folks are there before it stops raining. But, in a large outbreak with a large area laid waste, it could be days before all areas are checked, and cell towers are the first comm link knocked out.
I would never go into a burial crypt without a way to get myself out, waiting on luck and others to save me is not a plan I would trust.
