Yeah I have all that between my prepardedness stash and my camping stuff. Generally not too much looting in Georgia during a winter storm since the bad guys are stuck just as much as the rest of us. I guess if you live in an aparment or other urban/close in environment that might be a problem.

People do tend to burn down their houses in winter storms, usually by the use of candles. Also they have carbon-monoxide issues with kerosene heaters and trying to cook on their camp stoves indoors.

I'm trying to figure out what problems the winter storm presents that is different from any other emergency situation, such as getting stuck in your own driveway.

Blowing a little WD-40 in your car door locks keeps them from freezing you out of your car. Happened to me once.
