re: How are you prepared for emergencies?

I have a fleshlight and that's all I need.

Truck-water, flashlight, coats, hand tools, jumper cables, flares, first aid kit, and usually a large bag of almonds.

House-being in hurricane country, I keep about 50 gallons of gas year round, make sure the generator and chainsaw are always operational, non-perishable food and grains (rice) stocked up, 10 +/- gallons of distilled water, bleach, water purification equipment, lanterns, flashlights, first aid supplies, etc.

I always find it strange when people rush to the grocery store before a storm, or make a big deal about it. The list of essentials is short, and usually only have to be purchased one time or replenished once a year.

ETA: Usually mucho alcohol in the house, as well. Always necessary for emergencies. Ran low on brown liquor this time around, though.
