If you don't have access to waterproof matches, just dip the end of regular matches in melted wax for a waterproof coating and just scratch it off before using said match

Spend a little but often to build your reserve supplies.
10 X 2 litre water bottles are better storage than 1 X 20 litre container. Always keep at least one 2l bottle per person in your car plus 1 or 2 spares for every day driving.
Use old soft drink and fruit juice bottles appropriately rinsed with bi-carb to remove residual flavours.

If the power is going to off for the foreseeable future quickly layer your deep freeze goods like bricks...itll keep the goods frozen longer...also if you have freezer room now make big ice packs with deep dish cooking trays and then bag them (tightly with ziplock bags and tape or if poss seamseal them)...use them as layer separators for stacking the goods in your Esky to move them...a couple of days extra breathing space...

I put plastic 2L bottles in freezer if there is space. Can use them as ice blocs in fridge, and will eventually have cold water to drink. My tip when using a cooler box is to cover it with a soaking wet towel, the ice keeps up to a week. When at the beach I dip towel in ocean cover the esky it will stay cold for days.

And dont waste the water even if it was in old milk bottles (biohazard!)...itll still give you something to wash with and boil...

When bringing groceries into the house. NEVER forget and leave a 12 pack of cans of Canada Dry tonic water on the porch steps in -20C weather.....
