If I were forced to flee my home suddenly, My most important need would be a shelter, or access to tools and knowledge to build my own shelter. A "Go-bag" with firstaid for 4 people, wilderness survival guides (bushcraft, hunting, canning, scavenging, etc), Plant Identification and Usage guides, and basic hand tools (6" fixed blade Knife and sharpener, 50ft of rope, compass, 10x10 tarp, lighter, etc).
Those offering help often provide immediate essential needs but don't provide the knowledge, tools and self-sustaining skills for long-term success. If every family forced out of their home was given one of these go-bags, they could learn to survive in all situations, without heavily relying on rescues or relief efforts, especially in times where they are inaccessible.
