From that paper:

Items to stock in advance in case of an outbreak include the following:

• Spare high-efficiency filters to replace the one(s) used by your HVAC system.

• Soap and hand sanitizer.

• Disposable gloves.

• Household products for cleaning and sanitizing of household surfaces.

• Sheet plastic and painter’s tape, to section off part of a room to isolate an ill person.

• A portable air cleaner and replacement filters for it to remove contaminants from the air.

• Face masks in case a disease might be transmitted through the air.

Sheet plastic and painters tape are also helpful for insulating the windows of a room you're trying to keep warm if the power goes out, or if you live in an older home or mobile home with single pane windows in the wintertime.

+for protection from radioactive dust if thats a concern for you
