Even if you don't make it your man cave - keep an empty bucket/pail, a gallon of water, flashlight, and couple packs of cheese & peanutbutter crackers (or MREs if you're into that kind of thing) near the closet door, outside of the closet. Our closet is actually in the bathroom, so we keep that all in that empty bucket on on the bathroom counter.

If anything happens, you now have food, water, a light source and a toilet to last you a couple of days, long enough to dig your way out if necessary. Keep the phone charged, if you have a laptop or tablet, load up some books on them and keep those charged as well. Bring'em all with you and you'll have something to "do" while you're stuck in there til the storm's over even if the power goes out.

Sincerely -
Someone who's lived through 58 years of Nor'easters.
