Food and clean water are definitely 1 and 2. Nearly every American gets 100% of their food from a grocery store. Even if a HW scenario didn't take place, the damage to the country's transportation infrastructure (and fuel production/distribution) would mean most of the country would go hungry- not necessarily starve to death, although some undoubtedly would, but the majority of the surviving population would not be getting their daily minimum calorie intake. Yeah, the food is there, but is it getting to consumers? That puts fuel at #3.
