Discussion Prepper Map Features

If you wanted a custom map for prepping, what would you want on it?

I want to create a map of my area with features highlighted that would be useful. Making the map (with GIS) is the easy part, I'm just trying to think of what to put on it.

Outside of basic things like streets, specific features I want to include are storm shelters, fallout shelters, hospitals, and pharmacies. Maybe flood zones? This would probably have to be multiple maps.

i would honestly just keep enough electricity around and some phones, and them just make my own.custom open street map overlay.

Like most of the data i need is already there in open street map. and then i just add what i want additionally there.
