Default Camping Gear as "emergency" equipment

OK, the backstory is that Atlanta is getting blasted by a winter storm. All the snow is north of here. My neck of the woods is getting sleet and freezing rain. This glazes the roads and brings tree limbs down on the power lines.

So out to the camper to prepare for a possible power outage (which is really about the worst thing that could happen)

Portable LP heater
Flashlights and batteries
battery powered alarm clock (doesn't need AC power)
a couple more blankets

We have a gas water heater and stove in the house, so that's not a problem, and a gas space heater in the basement, plus a fireplace.

Charge up the cell phone and stand your vehicle windshield wipers "up on their ends" so you won't have to dig them out.

What else is in your camper that's good for weathering out the winter storms?
