Are your freezers full? Any space in your freezers -- FILL IT IN RIGHT NOW WITH PLASTIC BOWLS OR POP BOTTLES ALMOST COMPLETELY FULL OF WATER. (Remember, water expands when it freezes, so don't fill it to the brim.) The frozen water serves two purposes: 1, it is an emergency supply of water and 2, it keeps your food frozen longer if you lose power. Full freezers stay frozen longer than half full freezers.

Do you have a generator? Get extra gas for it, but bear in mind that a generator MUST be used outside, and if you put a generator outside you MUST have security to protect it. Generators (and also window air conditioning units) are stolen a lot in the aftermath of major disasters where power is lost for an extended time. Generators will also attract attention to you and your family. Bear that in mind before you fire it up.

Your frozen foods will be OK for up to 48 hours without power IF you do not open the freezer door, and you stuff every vacant spot in that freezer with bowls or bottles of water before you go to bed tonight at the latest. Right now would be better.

UPS and Fed Ex can get in before local roads reopen to the public. Lines at local stores for easy to prepare foods and drinks are long. Amazon will deliver, often times free if you watch what you buy, and they ship using UPS. Survival skills are important before during and after a hurricane.
