OP -

Don't forget to stock up on water:
Since you live in an apartment (I got that right?), you won't have a lot of storage space. I'm in a similar situation, living in a 865 sq ft stand alone home. I've been saving 2 liter bottles and 20 oz bottles from vitamin waters and such, storing them in a rubber tote. When there is a threat of a storm (thunderstorm, tornado, winter, etc), I will fill those and stash them in places gallon jugs and such can't fit.

Don't forget to stock up on necessities:

- toilet paper
- personal wipes for when you don't have access to runny water
- other personal products you typically use
- matches/lighters
- candles ... I've been getting candles cheap at Goodwill and Salvation Army (browse there for totes and other odds n ends)
- batteries
- comforters and blankets ... again, Goodwill has them fairly cheap and in good repair
- cordage (cotton, nylong, paracord, etc) ... to help create a blanket tent in your apartment if need be.
- thick socks ... keep your feet warm at all possible
- manual can opener
- lots of canned soups, tuna, etc. complement with crackers and chips
- trail mix and other similar ... fairly healthy snacks that keep for a long while
- vitamins: D3, C, B complex, probiotic (your tummy may well be upset with stress), and whatever else you typically need
- a crank/battery powered radio that also has weather alert feature
- some cases of sodas. yes, not the healthiest, but a sweet treat that doesn't have to be refrigerated. breaks up the monotony of water all the time when the power is out.

Also, I have taken 2 liters bottles, filled with 3/4 or so water, and froze standing up ... and then store in the freezers. So, if the power goes out due to a storm for a few hours or a day ... you can use those to help keep foods frozen or cold as long as possible (better than not having them to help). Also, take sponges, cut them down (if they are the huge ones), soak in water (do not wring out) and store in a good sealing freezer bag ... and freeze. These make great little ice packs to help keep things cold/frozen too.

Also, I will be sending you a private message after I finish this one ....
