Another thing to consider is electricity after the storm passes. I see the NC stores are being cleaned out of all their batteries... rechargeable batteries are a wonderful thing, now would be a good time to top them all up.

My Goal Zero Yeti 400 has a 95% charge and AA’s/AAA’s are at the ready. The AA/AAA batteries are for flashlights, the Yeti is for our cell phones. Cell service may come back quickly, but you need a fully charged phone, so a power bank of some type that you like is also a good thing.
