I live in Connecticut. When I heard there was a massive storm coming I filled the cars gastanks with gasoline, filled two spare gasoline cans, got the propane tank for the genertor topped off and picked up a few things at the grocery store.
It’s great having fine organizations to provide aid. It’s better seeing prudently to your own needs. Did fine in the storm. We were lucky
I did the same just before our massive ice storm and snow storms not long ago.
Natural gas for heat and cooking, propane backup, Coleman stove backup, Sterno cans for more back up. I lit kerosene lanterns I haven’t used for 25 years, had Coleman lanterns for back up and finally candles.
We did well with no electricity for several days and below “0” temps.
