I believe I'm prepped to handle everyday events (events I can foresee) during a grid-down situation, be it for a short term or long. In addition to my medical kit, which I covered a lot, the following are additional items for a grid-down situation:

03 Boxes of latex-free gloves (two boxes are open)
01 Box of latex gloves
02 116-count boxes of Alka-Seltzer (I know this is overkill, but Alka-Seltzer can be a life-saver)
13 Rolls of 2" CoFlex
10 ten-count 4" x 4" gauze sponges
07 Curad Wound Care Kits
06 first aid kits (this is in addition to my above-mentioned medical kit)
02 six-count Kleenex Go Packs
01 ten-count extra socks
01 extra pack of undergarments from Sam's Club (I'm not revealing any more details)
02 forty-pack sandwich crackers
03 eight-pack sandwich crackers
03 extra pairs of sunglasses
01 open box of hand sanitizing wipes (estimating fifty left)
34 boxes of Kleenex
31 5" x 9" trauma pads
01 open fifty-count box of biohazard bags (probably forty-eight bags left)
12 40" x 40" x 56" triangular bandages
01 open box 3" x 4" non-adherent pads
02 eye pads
01 100-count box fingertip bandages

05 1" x 10 yards cloth tape
01 100-count knuckle bandages
01 eighty-count .75" x 3" plastic bandages
05 digital thermometers

01 open box 100-count 3" x 3" gauze pads
01 3" elastic bandage
04 emergency blankets
02 penlights
03 SWAT tourniquets
09 3" gauze rolls
03 1/8 ounce Burn Jel
02 Dyna-Stopper
02 4" x 4" burn dressing
02 4" x 16" burn dressing
04 packs of eye pads
02 irrigation syringes
04 six-count antiseptic towelettes
01 bandage scissors
01 2" x 6" burn dressing
06 cotton-tipped applicators
02 eye shields
01 2" elastic bandage
02 1" cloth tape
01 Dentemp
01 open twenty-five count box 4" x 4" sponges
02 13 ounce jars petroleum jelly
01 4 ounces cough suppressant
02 twenty-five count cough drops
02 200-count boxes alcohol prep pads
03 liquid generic Tylenol (I'm unable to swallow pills because of my throat)
06 thirty-six count chewable aspirin (twenty-seven doses total)
04 generic lip balm
01 100 count 1" x 3" bandaids
01 1.25 ounce Ben's 30% DEET
01 3.4 ounces Natrapel
02 pill crushers
01 4 ounces hand sanitizer (I'm having trouble getting more hand sanitizer)
04 8 ounces hand sanitizer
03 three-pack Carmex
05 pill splitters
02 300-count bottles 5000 mcg Vitamin B12 (this will last me 600 days)

Clearly, I'm not covering food and water (except for sandwich crackers). I have more sterile strips than I can count. There may be some things that I have but did not think to include.

To the point of this thread, while I believe I'm prepped for emergencies I foresee in a grid down (long term and short), everyday situations. It is the unforeseen events that have me wondering if I have everything that I can get. Based on my list, your experiences, and so forth, can you think of emergencies that I can't think of? Is there a go-to product that helps you in about every situation?

Edit: I forgot to mention two pairs of prescription glasses, a cleaning cloth, and an extra eyeglass case.
