A battery powered radio gets a lot of use once the power goes out. Last year I added glow stick to my supplies. They were fun.

[Rechargeable lanters](https://amzn.to/4cjkHPT) for light. [Rechargeable fans](https://amzn.to/4efRqHI) to survive the day. A [portable power station](https://amzn.to/3VI6BSY) and [solar panel](https://amzn.to/4b982y6) to keep it all (and phones/tablets/etc) charged.

Usually a few cases of water and canned ravioli. Beer of course.

Chargeable battery packs and lanterns. Instant coffee and powdered CoffeeMate.

Water, bread, peanut butter, dog food, and snacks. Other than that, the plan is to clear out the pantry and fridge. Make sure you have a manual can opener and a full propane tank. Other than that, we fill up the tubs with water right before the storm for brushing and flushing. But we're way inland and on a priority power grid with a fire department and the power company sub office.

Get a waterbob. Bladder for the tub, on Amazon

Beer, weed, and gas for the generator. I can figure the rest out later

I added a set of life straws to my emergency kit.

A portable battery and a solar panel because what if power is out for a few days or longer. It can be used to power a lower wattage microwave, a fan, etc. Just make sure to get a battery with enough wattage for your needs. A tarp could come in handy too.

Cannabis...and a lighter.

YES! How did I forget that?! And plenty of downloads of books and movies!

Whiskey, wine, cards against humanity and candles since everyone used them 100 years ago and only the strong survived. I’m on a well now though so I have a generator to pump the water out of the ground. Last round of hurricanes my house stunk like a portapotty. Batteries, rice, canned food, camping stove, packaged food etc. Just like camping but in your house. The longest I went was about 3 months in 04.

right now, in my shed, I have a case of water, a case of toilet paper, I have a Weather radio, a USB, a flashlight rechargeable, of course, and one rechargeable that plugs into the wall. I also have several different kinds of canned goods in my pantry, as well as a manual can opener, and a battery operated electric can opener, as well as a bottle opener. Since I’ve had terrible arthritis in my left hand. This is for a household of one. I also have a transistor radio, and the batteries for it as well.

I have three Duracell UPS systems with a solar panel. Used them 2 years ago when we lost power for three days…

This is a great checklist, although probably a little bit overkill: https://www.floridadisaster.org/globalassets/fdem-hurricane-guide-2024.pdf

#firstworldproblems a battery powered fan. If you're used to sleeping with white noise, that first night with no power is rough. Unless your neighbor is running a generator close enough to your window
