I'm from an area where the power will go down reliably for several days, up to a week due to either a hurricane or an ice storm. I keep enough pantry food such as rice, lintels, canned soup etc. to get through it, and I have a 72 hour bag I can just grab on my way out to the car should there be a need to evacuate.

I'm bought into the Craftsman V20 cordless tool system, I have a number of batteries and among the tools I have for that set is a chainsaw, a reciprocating saw, and an inverter. I have several different ways of cooking without electricity and 9 ways to start a fire.

I'm ready to wait for Duke Energy to fix what the storm broke.
