If it was up to me, I would

1) Pack tools in plastic tubs with cover lids, not in drawers
2) Cover the tools with CorrosionX HD, which has shown itself very
well for me
3) Maybe add jars with moisture absorbers for good measure.
4) Leave at least a 100 watt light bulb or a 100 watt heater in the
storage room, if possible.
