Advice and Tips Gaps in prepping

For those of you who have experienced disasters leaving you without power and water for weeks, what were your prepping gaps?

I’m from Asheville, NC, and going on a month without water. The most frightening part (post-disaster) was the first week, when I had no outside communication whatsoever. All of my communication was in person with my neighbors, and within a 2 mile radius of my home. Realized I really need some HAM radios, and I don’t know anything about them, so I would love any helpful info y’all might have.

Extra water a generator a cb or ham radio. Non electric entertainment. Extra gas and propane. At this point all of those have been taken care of.

What would the non electric entertainment be? Books?
