That's a good place to start. I often lose power during storms. After hurricane Charlie in 2004 I lost power for two weeks and after Jeanne, a month later, for 10 days.
I have a generator that powers the freezer, fridge, a window A/c, TV and a couple of lamps. But I usually don't use it unless there's an extended outage.
Every room has alternate lighting, hanging oil lamps flank the fireplace (I have loads of oak stored for warmth). I have plenty of flashlights, lanterns and, light sticks for the grandkids. Outside, all my fence posts have solar light tops ... they can brought inside for extra indoor lighting at night and be put outside to recharge during the day.
I have a gas stove/oven and a gas/charcoal/smoker char-griller for cooking.
When most New Yorkers move to Florida they head to the beaches. But I grew up and lived on a beach all my life, so I looked for something different. I opted for very rural area and bought two properties close to each other. My daughter lives on one, at the end of a dirt road on an under-fished spring fed lake. Mine backs about 25,000 acres of forest with deer, turkey and wild boar. There's only one road in and out the neighborhood . . . easy to defend if necessary. The lake has crystal clear water and wee bit down the road there's a natural spring. I've used pool water for flushing toilets.
My grandson is an archer and knows how to kill, skin, and cook a rattler.
I'm about 12 miles from a major truck stop on an interstate. In the past they seemed to have their power back before anyone else ... maybe to supply gas and services to first responders, utility crews, and such. It was a blessing to be able to use their laundry, showers, and restaurant.
I have a couple of German Shepherds that guard the property and have chickens that run around my yard. With a couple of neighbors, we raise and butcher our own beef. I have fruit trees and plenty of room for a vegetable garden.
Life is good.
