Seriously, y'all think hard about the basics of survival in a situation where you have no electricity for a week and make your preparations; propane stove, food that doesn't require cooking, water, blankets, warm clothes, batteries, generator - whatever it takes. It's never too soon to get going on this project...

P.S. Though it may not be entirely politically MB correct, it's also a good idea to gas up any four wheeled vehicles you have so that you can huddle in them for heat (or run an inverter off the electrical system) as a last resort. Been there, done that, too.
