Today’s Palm Beach Post has an article on gadgets might prove helpful before, during and after hurricanes. The 15 gadgets that are noted in the piece can heat and cool food, as well as provide power, light and communications. 
Hmm … the info provided by the Palm Beach Post seems like a lobotomized version of the National Hurricane Center’s Disaster Supply Kit:
- Water – at least 1 gallon daily per person for 3 to 7 days
- Food – at least enough for 3 to 7 days
- Blankets / Pillows, etc.
- Clothing – seasonal / rain gear/ sturdy shoes
- First Aid Kit / Medicines / Prescription Drugs
- Special Items – for babies and the elderly
- Toiletries / Hygiene items / Moisture wipes
- Flashlight / Batteries
- Radio – Battery operated and NOAA weather radio
- Cash – Banks and ATMs may not be open or available for extended periods.
- Keys
