Living in South Louisiana, I have been through 10+ hurricanes including Camille, Andrew and Rita I have few suggestions that I would like to add. I guess these follow under the 'Family Disaster Kit' you mentioned,
Make sure all your devices are fully charged.
Flashlights and batteries.(Very important)
Bottled water
Cook a few meals and freeze them.
There will be lines in the stores so don't delay: Bags of ice and nonperishables.
A generator would be helpful but DO NOT TRY TO RUN ELECTRICITY FOR YOUR ENTIRE HOUSE. If you are a coffee fanatic like me, and your power is out, hook up the coffee pot.
Don't forget the essential drink for all south Louisiana cities.....The Hurricane!
Of course beer and margaritas come in handy.
