Just be sure to have a few extra canisters in case there is a prolonged power outage and always use the stove outside.

Have full tank of gas in car in anticipation of a bad storm and keep some cash on hand. Cash was essential after Hurricane Helene in my area because stores only took cash due to power and communication problems.

Also if you use milk for cereal and coffee etc, be sure to have some canned or carton milk (as well as cereal and coffee to get by!)
