OK, here's a suggestion. Rather than try to come up with our own "Top 100 List" how about a "Top 10" list? I'll give it a try:

1. Bottled water
2. Gasoline & diesel fuel
3. Batteries
4. Generators
5. Candles, lanterns, lantern fuel
6. Propane
7. Paper towels, toilet paper
6. Tobacco products
8. Medicines (esp. those requiring refrigeration)
9. No-heat foods (snack foods, crackers, candies, etc.)
10. Canned foods

How'd I do? I await your critical comments. Also, give it a try yourself. smile

Having been through the 2003 SoCal wildfire emergency, I can say that generators were gone instantaneously, along with the heavy duty wire and plugs to hook them up to water pumps. My ranch is in desert horse country. Water for the horses is the #1 priority. Another thing that went quickly was gas cans for fuel for the generators.

I had the generator, the fuel, and the cans. I had to improvise the cable, and do without the plugs (Just shove the wire in there!). I now have the plugs.
