Firewood, fuel, blankets, warm clothing. I’m just paranoid that they’re going to take out the electricity which happened a few years ago and we had little heat, no water, no light. You could see your breath in the house. It was fricken cold & depressing. I know they’d love to do that again.
30mls of methanol will boil 2 cups of water with little regard for surrounding temps and an alcohol stove can be made from a single soda can. You can burn any alcohol, isopropyl works, but is dirty... on the other hand 'HEET' antifreeze from your automotive section is literally just methanol, burns clean, is cheap, is perfect. Stock up before the normies realize and clean it out. Much more cost effective and just as capable as any camping stove setup you might over pay on.
Alternatively a tea light can heat 2-3 cans of soup though you need to be patient, like, hours patient, and that presumes a normal 'room temp'. But it absolutely works.
A $200 generator from walmart can give you 1000w continuous watts - enough to run an electric toaster oven to bake in using fuel you stockpiled, or whatever gas you syphon from your car's tank after things go south.
LED lights are very low power consumers and you can get string lighting to plug into the generator to keep as much of the house minimally lit as you're happy buying and storing. Think christmas but the walls of the house is the tree.

What do you mean “Heat” antifreeze?
Had no idea this was even an option so explain as if I am dumb, lol.
That’s gas tank antifreeze the bottle is branded “heet”
