I keep a case of MRE's and 5 gallons of potable water at all times

You know that if you drain it out a little every once and a while, your hot water tank is a good source of backup water. I'll save you the hassle though. Before you drain it, get one of those caps for a garden hose. The spigots on water heaters are real cheap and will leak.

I live in a rental, was planning on beating feet for Mom and Dad's place out in the country, they have 4 acres. One way in one way out. They have an entire room of canned veggies and two six foot tall freezers full of Deer, Elk and Salmon. They use electricity off the county grid but Dad just got a windmill with battery storage....I'd say as a family, we're gonna be alright.
