wiki: Backup power
Someone is very busy. Thanks for putting in the effort.
Suggestions:
Mention that the ADSL/cable modem and router(s) will need to be on the
UPS - not just the computer system.
Various forms of glow stick/light can be very effective. Although
relatively expensive, they are very safe and can be stored for long periods.
Simple glow-in-the-dark tabs/labels can help in locating door handles,
light switches, etc.
Although not ideal on the safety front, Coleman-style petrol stoves and
lamps are cheap to run on unleaded (or were until recently :-) ), and
very effective. My choice for one-ring emergency cooking outdoors.
For many, use of some sort of amplifier and/or distribution device is
necessary for their television reception. This too will need to be on
UPS if it is to work. And, of course, the various set-top boxes
(including the ridiculously hot running, power hungry Virgn media boxes).

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
