Yeah, most of the precautions are for going without power, water, or certain groceries, etc. Even if property damage doesn't look likely, a little pre-planning can make life a lot more enjoyable should you have to go without things for a couple days.
Thing that were hard to get for a few days around me included gasoline, ice, meats & dairy, and chlorine for the pool (when there's not enough electricity to go around, you're not running the pool pump.)
I resented losing all my food in the freezer, not being able to use the phone, not enough gas to travel (not that you were allowed to for a few days) and no air conditioning....nothing like sweltering in a hot house with wet sticky floors....then having to get up and get ready to go to work with cold water and no hair dryer.
