[edyle]

Nothing.
Stock up on endible foodstuff like fruits and vegetables that will not need cooking.

Have your CRIX vital supplies ready; accompanied by cheeze or some such; avocado/zaboca in season at hurricane time - hold on to them before they get blow away; it does go down good with the CRIX.

It is New York, not Rio Claro.

If power goes, it will come back long before you run out of bunker stock of carrots and crix.
