Batteries, water, battery operated lamps and radios, flashlights, candles, matches/lighters, non-perishable supply of food, pet food supplies, updated maps (in case of evacuation), list of hotels that accept pets, keep gas tank filled in car -the list goes on and on. I usually keep most of the stuff (except for food) in a hurricane box in a closet so that I don't have to worry about it. I also make sure I have my important papers up to date and available in case of evacuation.
