Living in earthquake country I try to stay pretty well stocked up on supplies and food all the time. I’m also in a semi-rural area with potential for fairly long power outages when hit by a wind storm.

So with a storm warning, I’d top gas tanks off, check the generator, make some extra ice in my freezer, rotate any water that was getting close to needing rotating, have coolers cleaned and ready, re-charge some batts that are in my lights and portable radio, then make a trip to the grocery for fresh bread and dairy products as well as making sure that the animal feed and supplies are sufficient for at least one month. Also charge up any batt power tools, as you want those batts pre-charged if you have to make any repairs.

Even with a generator to help with refrigeration, coolers come in very handy to keep stuff you are using frequently, saves opening the fridge door for my half and half, etc that goes in my coffee.

Phones---charge cells and make sure you have at least one old fashion plug in phone as the portable landline phones don’t work if the power is out.
