Here is what I have:

Emergency Cooler Kit

Choose a cooler as storage as this seems to work well. You want to fill it with nonperishable items as well as supplies like flashlights and batteries. The idea here is you just grab it and go. Make sure you choose non-perishables you LIKE. There would be nothing worse than being stuck inside during a huge storm, no electricity, and nothing to eat but Vienna Sausages. That is unless you like Vienna Sausages. Store at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food. Select foods that require no refrigeration, preparation or cooking, and little or no water.

Ready-to-eat canned meats, fruits, and vegetables
Energy or Snack Bars
Staples (salt, sugar, pepper, spices, etc.)
Canned Juices
High energy foods (nuts and dried fruits)
Cereal
Paper plates, Utensils and Cups
Matches
Comfort/stress foods (cookies, snack cakes etc)
First Aid Kit
TONS of bottled water (1 gallon per person X 4 days) Vitamins
Hand operated can opener
Candles
Couple Blankets (one per person)
Pet food and water
Radio - battery or crank operated - with batteries that fit Change of clothes
Battery operated or Wind up Clock
Food for infants
Flashlights X 2 with batteries that fit both
