Answer
At least 3,000 women held paid nursing postions in the north and South, and thousands of others worked as volunteers. "The war is certainly ours as well as men's" said Kate Cummings of Mobile, Alabama, who became the matron of a large Confederate hospital.
Women played a vital role in collecting and delivering essentil supplies of food and medicines to the army. In the north their efforts developed into the United States Sanitary Commission, which performed a critical role in providing food and medical services for the soldiers. "The necessary supplies are almost unversally collected, assorted, and dispatched, and re-collected, re-assorted and re-dispatched, by women, representing with great impartiality every grade of society in the Republic" said Alfred Bloor of the Sanitary Commission.
Clara Barton began actively soliciting donations and supplies, and delivering them to the Union Army. At first she distributed her supplies at hospitals, then began meeting ships and trains carrying wounded soliders home, and finally began delivering to the front. Her courage under fire was legendary. At Antiem, when doctors were not available, she removed a bullet from a soldier's face while another wounded man held his head still. Later, when the operating room came under fire and the male assistants fled, Barton stayed to hold down the table where a surgeon was operating. "I am a U.S. soldier you know and therefore not supposed to be susceptible to fear" she said.
Mary Ann ("Mother" Bickerdyke) first arrived at any army camp in Cairo, Illinois, to deliver a relief fund. Seeing the filthy, overcrowded hospital tents, she simply got to work cleaning and nursing, without asking anyone's permission. In four years she trotted across nineteen battlefields searching for wounded. She was famous for ordering everyone around, and her reputation gave her the clout to get away with it. An army surgeon who challenged one of her orders was told "Mother Bickerdyke outranks everyone, even Lincoln."
An estimated 400 women disguised themselves as men to fight in the war. Many also served as spies. The most famous Southern spy was Belle Boyd. Taking advantage of Union soldiers gallantry towards a beautiful teenage girl, she served as a courier for the Confederate intelligence service and delivered information on troop size and placement she had picked up from her admirers. On her final mission, Belle sailed to England carrying Confederate dispatches and was captured by a Union blockade. She later married the Union officer who had taken command of her captured steamer.
Harriet Tubman, the former slave who before the Civil War returned to the south many times to save other slaves, worked for the Union Army as a spy and scout, bringing back reports from informants on the other side of the Confederate lines. "Col. Montgomery and his gallant band of 300 black soldiers under the guidance of a black woman, dashed into the enemy's country, struck a bold and effective blow, destroying commissary, stores, cotton and lordly dwellings" stated a report at the time.
Mary Walker, who served as a surgeon with the Union Army, became the first and only woman to win the Congressional medal of honour, for her gallantry under fire at Gettysburg and other battles.
Many women took over clerical jobs that had been vacated by men, working in the Treasury for instance. Other women took jobs doing 'piecework' sewing clothing for the army, or worked in munitions, packing cartridges.
A lot of women took over the running of family farms and businesses while their husbands were away. In the south, the sight of a woman pushing a plough became a common one. Many southern women became fed up with being left to cope alone, and tried to persuade their husbands to desert and come home to help feed their families.

I know the basics - water, canned goods, flashlights, batteries - do you have anything else to add to this?
Answer
Clean containers for storing drinking water: Figure you will need a gallon per person per day for drinking and sanitation. Have a two-week supply on hand for each person. Use clean containers for storing drinking water. Food-grade plastic containers that have screw caps, such as 2-liter soda bottles, are best. Plastic milk jugs, though they can be leaky, will do in a pinch.
Gallon-sized freezer bags for making ice: You'll want to fill them with water and freeze as many as you can a few days before the storm is expected to arrive.
Household bleach, without lemon scent, to purify water.
Tools: hammer and nails; ax or hatchet; crowbar; screwdrivers; pliers; a drill (consider battery-powered) with screwdriver bits and adapters to install bolts; extra fasteners and bolts for shutters; a knife; handsaw.
Duct tape and masking tape.
Flashlight for each member of the family with extra batteries
Radio or battery-powered TV with extra batteries
Fire extinguisher
Lantern with extra fuel or batteries
Matches: Wooden kitchen matches are best. Keep them dry in a plastic bag or plastic film container.
A charcoal or gas grill with a supply of fuel so you can cook if you are left without electricity or gas. Never use a grill inside.
Fuel for your generator or chain saw
Sterno stove, with extra fuel
Oven mitts, for handling hot cookware.
Disposable plastic eating utensils, to help you save water.
Hand-operated can opener
Soap with a covered plastic container
Toiletries
