I keep about a months worth of bottled water, plus an IBC of non-drinking water.
Fire wood for one whole winter, an emergency reserve of coal.
Non perishable foods.
And large reserves of paraffin, candles and dry cells.
I doubt that I will be flooded as I live on a hill, but the surrounding area is very vulnerable to flooding, with potential effects on utilities and supplies
I always carry a torch, two if any doubt about conditions. No pocket knife or string or boiled sweets though.
