Make sure you have CASH and full tanks of gas. If power is lost you will have no way to get any cash since ATM's etc do not work. Neither do Credit Card swipers and for that matter gas pumps. Fill your propane tanks so you can have some great cookouts with your neighbors cooking all the meat that is defrosting in your freezer while they are trying to restore power. Battery operated radio is a must as well as a couple of good flashlights with extra batteries.
