1. There are some very nice prepackaged survival kits on the market these days.

Here is a typical 4 person- 3 day disaster survival kit:
FOOD & WATER
(4) ER™ Food Bars
(12) ER™ Water Boxes w/ Straws
(50) ER™ Water Purification Tablets
SHELTER
(4) ER™ Emergency Blankets
(4) ER™ Ponchos With Hood
LIGHTING & COMMUNICATION
(1) AM/FM Radio
(1) Shake Light
(1) ER™ Green Lightstick
FIRST AID
(1) Medium Sized First Aid Kit
SEARCH & RESCUE
(1) Safety Whistle
(4) Dust Masks
(1) Pair Vinyl Gloves
SANITATION
(1) Snap-on Toilet Seat (optional)
(4) Tissue Packs
PACKAGING
(1) ER™ 5 Gallon Bucket Container

The food is just energy bars so it may not be exactly what you are looking for... but is has some nice stuff.

The smallest 4 person emergency food rations I have seen is for 3 months (5-year lifespan) and it has a mix of real dehydrated food. (See the 2nd link)

2. Build your own kit. Don't forget the most important item - firearms.
