One compact bag with a first aid kit, a knife, fire stone, rescue blanket and a turniquet. All really cheap, small and light and it can be life saving.

If you already have a good pedestrian vehicle: a good bike lock.
I (and lockpicking lawyer) recommend the kryptonite evolution. Good balance of price and protection.

At least one GMRS radio, along with the license to use it. In an emergency where cell lines are down, that's what people will be using for communication. In the US, there are also NOAA weather stations that are very resilient that many GMRS radios can pick up. Just be mindful of etiquette, since there are a limited number of channels.

Asthma puffer - they are cheap, and if someone has an asthma attack (and you can have one if you don't have a history) it saves a person's life. I have one in my backpack, just in case. This was a tip from a first aid course I did years ago.
