I think in terms of storms damaging my house, fire, flooding, and getting snowed in.

Storm damage: 1) Secure the scene and make sure nobody is in danger (this includes immediate evacuation if there's any question of structural collapse). 2) Render any needed aid. 3) Assess the damage and decide if it can be temporarily repaired out of my own resources, with outside help, or not at all. 4) Decide whether to stay or go. 5) Check on my neighbors and see if any of them need help.

Fire: Evacuate immediately. If we get our hides out of the houe intact we've won. If we manage to do so with (in order of importance) car keys, clothes, shoes, cellphone, wallet, or a bug out bag, we've won big. If possible move the vehicles away from the house.

Flood: I've fought floodwaters successfully several times and lost once due to a double sump pump failure. The response is essentially the same as that for storm damage, with additional hazards including drowning, bacterial contamination and electrocution.

Snowed in: If the power's on, pour the wine and watch a movie or read a book. If the power's off, bundle up, strictly enforce fire hazard discipline, and cook without the oven or microwave. If power doesn't come back on before running the risk of pipes freezing but the gas still works, wire up the generator to the furnace and get the house warmed up. My plan calls for strictly rationing generator fuel for only the most essential purposes, so we'll get the house warm and the phones charged and shut down as soon as that's done. Our plan does not allow for lending the generator to neighbors but I would be willing to do almost anything else to help them.

If it gets real cold and the gas doesn't work, then we'll go into the room with the best insulation (my home office) put down some bedding, put plastic over the windows, and huddle up. We can run space heaters off the generator but I don't have either the space heaters or the generator capacity to get the whole house warm enough to keep pipes from freezing. We do have a Coleman stove and plenty of fuel canisters for cooking.
