We here in the south keep hurricane kits in the event of one of them
storms knocking out our power for a week or so. With the power grid
thing up there it may be a good idea for ya to stock up on bottled water
(pumps work on electricity unless gravity fed) 1g per person per day,
extra batteries, candles, non perishable foods that don't need heating
up, portable radio, and a months worth of meds. As an avid camper I
have a portable propane stove which may not be a bad idea for folks to
get if you use electric stoves. Then at least you could have a hot
meal.

In case this happens this winter a sleeping bag may be a good thing to
keep warm.
