speaking as someone who served in the army national guard, this pandemic isnt nearly as devastating as a natural disaster. So long as there is still clean water, electricity, and communications systems online, you're okay.
A few tips on things that can be stocked (or should be checked) for general disaster preparedness:
0. bottles of clean water. Old milk jugs of tap h20 will do.
1. dry goods like beans and rice which are compatible with boil-water advisories. peanut butter is also good.
2. a fever reducer of some sort. even a few Acetaminophen or aspirin.
3. Cheap bar soap. dollar store or discount brand. The article is correct in that every emergency needs good hygiene. bar soap can be split up among family members.
if you're handy with technology, you should consider an amateur radio license. http://www.arrl.org/
amateur operators are absolutely appreciated by military and red cross workers as the fastest way to get in touch with affected communities.
