It depends on the catastrophe.
Flood, wildfire, landslide, earthquake, tornado, hurricane, tsunami. There's some overlap in some of these in what needs to be done, but you need to be a bit more specific.
solar flare disabling power grid during northern winter = millions dead
Interesting thought! The Feds have developed "hardened" electronics capable of withstanding many thousands of times the gamma intensity which destroys conventional electronics. Bet it extends to power, too! Ya don't think the lights in the Feds' hideaway will go out, do ya? joc

Ten years ago our Irish government issued every household in our country Iodine tablets, should the Sellafield nuclear plant go into complete and utter melt down. Might as well paint myself white and hide under a table with sandbags for all the good that will do.
Depends on the threat. If you lived in a bushfire area, you'd organise your photos and your legal documents and maybe a few thumb drives into a single location for easy access and removal when the fire danger alert gets to a certain threat level. And you'd make sure you had all the tennis balls/other stuff you needed for blocking your gutters even if you never got to the point of throwing them up there then filling the gutters before you leave.practice (as in physical) would only apply in my head, if you don't live alone most of the time
