An emergency food stash that is part of a go-bag / bug-out-bag is useful. Individuals or households would have their food, clothing, and vital documents in a single piece of luggage (duffel bag, backpack, suitcase), which could be grabbed and carried or quickly thrown into a vehicle.
The challenge, at a wide-scale (national, regional, even city-wide) disaster-preparadness level, is of communicating this and establishing suitable levels of conformance.
To the extent that there are preparations which individuals can self-provide (food, water, and clothing among them) and those which require or benefit from central coordination (command-and-control, warning and information systems such as the FEMA test, emergency responders (rescue, etc.), and coordinated mass transportation (establishing and managing evacuation routes, busses, trains, etc.) it might not make sense to specifically provision such supplies, though if specific items aren't readily available commercially government coordination or distribution might help.
