Some other items that were recommended to put in the bag included bottles of water and energy bars, something to keep you going in case you're out there for a little while...
I would say the key items are:
VHF
PLB
Flares (smoke, parachute, hi-vis, all SOLAS)
Strobe/glowsticks
Signal mirror
Whistles
Food/Drink
Probably somethings I am forgetting. All placed in a waterproof, floating bag that's on deck where it can float free. Doesn't do any good if it's stowed away.
