While no rubbing alcohol in the area it seems, use Hydrogen Peroxide. Dollar Store had some, per a friend who bought a few bottles yesterday.

Plenty of mouthwash around and it has 41% alcohol. While may not be AS effective, it's better than nothing and easy to find. Plenty in stock at Wal-Mart. And minty fresh hands, to boot!

Paper towels and tissues and napkins seem to be available at most places and a good backup. Of course, don't flush - after use keep them in a plastic grocery bag and toss in garbage when full. My in-laws have done this for years as they continue to nurse their septic system.

Gilford Wal-Mart restocked the baby/personal wipes (3-packs) as of yesterday.

Oh, and our oldest was here from Portland early this week and we told her to NOT FLUSH ANYTHING OTHER THAN TP. Wouldn't that be interesting if everyone in the city flushed what they shouldn't flush (napkins, paper towels, tissues) and a huge backup resulted? Thankfully she is on the 3rd floor...
