[Superman]

Though we are in rainy W Wa, there is no flooding danger where I live. Unlike Paul, we are near the trunk of a robust power grid section, with underground power in our area. Power outages happen, but they won't last more than perhaps 3 days even if a serious wind storm affects all of W Wa. The nearest stand of trees is hundreds of feet away. We have only one fridge/freezer, but there is a good couple of weeks of food in it, at least, and a very significant dry and preserved food pantry. Gas range. Backpacking stoves if gas were unavailable.

But I would like to get a small generator and a switch box, for fridge, perhaps TV and we have a gas fireplace with a fan that could work if there was a bit of power for the fan.

Though our needs are simple and our situation fairly secure, the topic of this thread is certainly important. Lots of people are unprepared. We could do more to prepare. We have no "bug-out bags" and our vehicles could have more resources in the trunks.

Water. We have backpacking supplies so all we would need is a nearby stream. Also, and of course the police would need to keep order there, but Olympia has an artesian well. Gravity keeps it flowing 24/7. The spigot is about 1" diameter. Tasty too.
