Several years ago oh maybe 03 we had a bad ice storm in my neck of the woods. We didn't have power for 6 days and didn't have water for 4 or 5, lived up on a hill then and water was pumped up.
A lot of stuff has already been mentioned and I haven't read every line of thread, however. One of the things you couldn't find anywhere the next morning was water and batteries. I always keep a few extra packs of batteries around now and rotate em. I usually have 2 or 3 extra cases of water in basement now plus I'll fill up couple dozen two liter bottles with water to flush toilet and wash hands and such. I put in few drops of bleach.
Steel wool is an excellent fire starter I usually have 2 or 3 packs around, I use it for reloading and stuff anyways.
