My quick $0.02 worth: get a 12"-24" Destaco or hooligan prybar for door breaching & window smashing and the Gerber or Granfors-Bruks axe for the chopping & hammering chores. Either a GB or Gerber ax should work well for the camping & game butchering uses listed. Don't forget to have a file for resharpening the axe.
Short prybars can be easily stashed out of sight in day- or book-packs, which are ubiquitous enough to be good "camo" in urban environs where the prybar may be wanted. If you are evacuating a building, you will be breaching doors when necessary, not chopping them up. Hence a prybar is the tool of choice over an axe IMHO. By merit of being rather invisibly carried, prybars meet your criterion of not drawing attention to themselves. A fireax would also work, but isn't as easily carried and would probably raise a few eyebrows.
