I live where it snows a lot. So when a big storm is forecast I fill my truck to the brim, and also fill enough gas cans to fill my truck again. When the power goes out for several days I limit my driving, put my refrigerated foods outside in a cooler so they stay cold, and cook on my grill or a firepit.
What we are seeing in these big cities is a snapshot of what will happen should the electric grid fail on a large scale.
Oh I also have my ammunition stockpiles checked regularly for this very scenario.

9/11 gave them a forewarning of this; apparently the lesson wasn’t learned (Battery Park City was uninhabitable for months).
