Default Preparing for Power Outages?

We usually fill the bath tub with cold water. Nearby for flushing. Handy for
cooking if you have a gas stove. I have one kerosene lamp. Flashlights and
batteries for a small portable radio.
I ususally light the oven and place a pot of water on top.. Stay out of the
freezer if possible. Know what you need from the fridge before opening the
door. Five years in AK will teach you all these things.

We just had a ice storm and I had no electricity for 22 hours. I
was mostly unprepared and didn't like the experience at all.

What are you doing to prepare for this?

Thanks.
