Tire chains? Old Grand-Dad?
It would be good to have several days' supply of easily prepared food, drinking water, and toilet paper, for use if you can't get out for a time. Be ready to help neighbors survive, the ones with kids especially. A propane stove and many little bottles of propane, too, unless they're already in your rig. Make sure the generator in the rig runs; you can live in the rig for an extended time if everything is there and the stove, generator, and furnace are ready.
Tools, for helping the neighbors. You won't need them yourself, 'cuz you did all your testing and fixing ahead of the storms; but neighbors are usually dolts.
Crossword puzzles and pens; use of pencils is cheating. Jigsaw puzzles?
Ammunition, because some of your neighbors may not stay nice when cold and hungry. If the storms really get bad, be able to repel looters. After every bad hurricane in Florida, there are looters -- some seeking food & water, some seeking TV sets and jewelry, but all wanting to take it all instead of sharing.
Medicines, if you must take them daily as I do.
To all this, add a little bit of luck.
What did I leave out? Probably lots.
