Have a helmet lying about and ready to use if the need arise, like a gas mask. But don't keep it in your primary Bug Out stash, it will be very heavy and cumbersome in your bag and your head will sweat a lot with it on. I'd say get a surplus military helmet if you're expecting shrapnel or something, maybe a riot one if you think blows to the head by ruffians may happen.
