[...] Due to the high importance of this kind of documentation, make sure you place it somewhere protected (read also: being actively backed up) yet accessible to others within your group (or whomever needs access to it). It does nobody any good if you spend 100 hours documenting all of your systems and all those documents only exist on your hard drive. If your drive goes (as most eventually do), then you’ll have lost all of that hard work and vital information. No fun. Instead I recommend placing these files out on either a shared network drive or SharePoint site. SharePoint sites are great for this kind of thing since you can ratchet down permissions based on groups/users, gets backed up regularly (at least it should be if you don’t want to be sorry), and provides an easy platform for collaborating on and editing the document on a regular basis. You can even setup alerts on a particular list/folder to alert you if an item gets added or changed. I’d also recommend keeping copy of these documents on a portable drive that should be part of your takeaway kit.

Great list! Throw in a weather radio or a portable scanner as well–for those that live in the frozen north. I keep it as part of my “survival case.”
