    This is a really good book, applicable to most people in urban/suburban areas:

    Where I live, it's far more likely for me to experience a weather-related event that makes the system break down, so our preparation is primarily centered around that:
    • Gas-powered generator + fuel
    • Potable water (day-to-day used for beer and wine making, but anything not actively holding a ferment is always full of water)
    • Lots of beer and wine (see previous)
    • Freezer full of meat; pantry full of home-canned food; lots of dry goods
    • Moderately-versatile first aid kit (more than a cigar box; less than something carried by an EMT)

    In the event of something more sinister, we're pretty well armed to the teeth.
