Stay put. That's your best choice. Your home / apt is the environment over which you have the most control. Order a bunch of water and TP and delicious snacks from amazon and twitch your heart out.

When you have to come into contact with people, wear gloves, a mask (you can make it yourself, and sterilize it too), and eye protection (safety glasses). We call it MEGG, but you probably won't need the gown.

Here is how some of my colleges do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-tw-7XRV5w

The TP makes sense. I don't understand why you're suggesting to order water, though.

Can you elaborate?

I haven't seen any recommendations that tap water would be unsafe.

If you're in an earthquake prone zone like SF or LA of course having water at home is a very good idea any time of the year.
