Winter power outage prep

Last year, my town was hit by a snow storm, causing power outages in about a half of the area. Though we always keep water, canned food, candles, and flashlights on hand, it's not enough imo.

Here's what we've prepared so far:

  1. light/power: besides candles and flashlights, we have a small bluetti portable power station to power essentials like phones and small devices.

  2. heat: electric blankets, clothes, hot water bottles and a small tent.

  3. cooking: water and canned food, and we're thinking about other cooking methods if possible.

Anything missing? I'm considering getting a larger power station during BF so it can power my induction cooker and allow the electric blankets to run for longer. Any thoughts?
