Headlamps. A headlamp for each person in the house. THe headlamp allows you to move about safely while leaving two hands free. If you are worried about carbon monoxide, there are lanterns that double as stoves that use candles. REI sells them. They have special candles for them and do a fine job of heating up water and soup and throw off a ton of heat. Very useful and a good thing to have in an emergency kit because they are safer then propane if you have a stable place to place them.
Get the stuff for the coming storm, put it into a nice little bin and stick it in your car. That way you have food, water, extra clothes, and heat source in your car in case of emergencies and you can use it at home if something happens.
