Consideration of the different types of events should figure into your "bug out" preparedness, short term (1-2 weeks) to long term (2 weeks-6 months).
For both short and long term it wouldn't hurt to have some multi vitamins since you can't be sure of nutritional value in your disaster foods. Also, from military experience and spending weeks "in the field" eating rations and other foods, you can tend to get "bound up" as in not having a bowel movement for 2 weeks. I know it's gross, but it is a fact and impacted bowels can be life threatening. Fiber gummies, Colon Clenz or psyllium husks are good to have on hand.
Another thing to consider is if you have young kids they can be picky eaters. Nothing worse than cooking up food that is already in short supply only to have them refuse to eat it and having to throw it out. Protein bars and shakes are a cheap and effective way to meet their nutritional needs and make things easy for everybody.
