I think this type of list, plus making sure he always keeps an adequate supply of his prescription meds, is sensible.
What area of the country does he live in? I personally think the poster referencing rechargeable batteries, flashlights, radio, etc. is off base. If the power went out for an extended period of time, he would have to go to a warming shelter - it's not really feasible to stay long term in a house without power in blizzard-type weather. It would get very cold, very quickly.
