I am not sure what the huge panic over water is as people go from place to place looking for water. Just fill any container with tap water which will store better in the long run than bottled water.
I see so many YT vids and articles of people desperate and frantic to get water - it is totally bizarre as the taps are still working!!!!
The things to go for are fuel for vehicles, bread, tin goods, BBQ gas, torches and batteries. Small camp butane stoves are very popular in Australia. I have seen images of people lining up for BBQ gas bottles - the people know what is needed, but leave it too late. As suggested ice for refrigeration, or make your own ice. Completely filling a chest freezer will keep thing cooler for longer.
Prepper items to consider is a few good tarps in case one gets roof damage - a big storm hit the east coast of Australia in 2015 - emergency services ran out of tarps to fix leaking roofs from tree damage. Tarp and buckets can be handy for collecting water. Buckets and hand washing soap powder for cloths and 'sponge' bathing to get clean. Buckets and thick plastic bags can be useful for emergency toilet requirements.
