We keep a life straw a couple dehydrated meals, crank powered radio and a handful other things in our emergency kits in each of the cars. We also have more sophisticated water purification setups stored at the house that we use when camping and backpacking. Could always bust those out and the propane stove if things really got desperate. Though for us, a long term fend for yourself situation would likely be from a blizzard or ice storm which carries a different set of problems to mitigate.
We have friends in the FL/MIA area. By chance, they had planned a several week trip to PA and will miss all of it. Crazy lucky.
