I agree with terracore's advice about getting laundry done before the storm - your water tank will easily refill by the end of the storm. I would also recommend to get a few extra small bills in cash just in case the power is out for a couple days. I try to get some $1s, and $5s, so going to the farmers' market or veggie stands on the highway is easier - hard for them to break a $20 after the first day. Also, if you rely on an electric can opener, do get a manual. I checked mine, not having used it since the last storm, and it had rusted beyond use - only in Puna !
