If you are in the affected area of Sandy's landfall, DO NOT stock frozen food like you would for a snow storm. It will rot. Instead stock food that doesn't require cooking like peanut butter and crackers. A gallon of water per person per day. And NO CANDLES. Your apartment or house could catch fire if the winds break a window.

And don't out the generator in your house or near a window. Yes, people have done that.
I have about 6 flashlights of different btypes, and about 100 batteries for them. Cases of bottled water.
If you hear about filling your bath tub with water and keeping a bucket nearby, that is to flush your toilet once a day. The tub water isn't for anything else.
Good Luck !
