Keep a coffee cup, even if you do not drink coffee.
Keep a change of clothes in case of coffee collision in the hallway.
Keep a change of underwear in case you eat bad food at a restaurant. It happens.
If you sometimes wear impractical shoes to work (like heels), keep some practical boots there.
Maintain three lunches that do not need power or water to prepare so you can be stuck at work for 24 hours without going hungry, or if you forget your lunch. Don't let the supplies run low.
Keep six little bottles of water. Do not let the supplies run low.
Keep a flashlight & batteries somewhere you can get to when the power fails.
You will be a hero if you have matches & a candle for the bathroom during power outages.

You will also need things that are not on this list.

When the power fails, or any other disaster strikes, unplug all your electronics.

If water starts coming up out of the storm drains, leave the area immediately. Three inches of water in a low spot blocks a road.
