    Dialysis machine requires special prepping of course, but without such requirements I feel ok with a few flashlights and USB power banks. Plus warm blankets. I can get by without my vacuum cleaner or microwave til the power comes back.

      It sure is nice to not have all the food in your fridge go bad though, and to be be able to run some fans if it’s the middle of summer, or space heaters in winter.
