Are we good for every disaster? No but I think we're reasonably prepared for extended power outage and tornado (being in tornado alley). At least compared to most.
We have our tornado shelter in the garage. Every March it is stocked with enough water, food, clothes etc to last several days if need be. Most importantly the emergency services know where the shelter is so they can check on it (many many many many people neglect to tell emergency services this. Targetted searching is sooo much quicker and effective).
In addition we have a weather radio (fresh batteries with more batteries in the shelter), another radio and light with a hand crank to provide the power, and various mobile power units. For power outage we have our generator and enough gas to last 4 or 5 days.
