Boring as this sounds, my passport. If there were a catastrophe here, my instinct would be to just go home to the US, and it would be hell to do that in any sort of timely fashion without my passport. I would just have my parents buy me the plane ticket and pay them back once I returned and could work everything out with the bank from the comfort of a non-destroyed home. I have plenty of clothes, my check book, and most of my personal possessions back at my parents' house. I would lose most of my favorite clothes and some nostalgic memorabilia from my apartment here, but not nearly as much as you might expect, since I didn't bring that much with me to begin with. (Remember the fitting-everything-into-two-checked-bags thing?). And while in losing my computer I would lose my current Sims neighborhoods, I have my novel and pictures backed up online, and important documents (resumes, etc) and most of my music backed up on a hard drive back in the US.
Really, if I had to lose *everything* right now, I wouldn't lose very much at all.
Edit (4:24): So I just realized this says "items," as in plural. In that case, I would just toss my computer, cell phones (both American and Japanese), wallet, and passport (and maybe a change of clothes?) into my laptop bag and go. Easy.
