Restarting a long-idle 2003 EX

I've got a 2003 Accord EX which I haven't driven in about 15 months. I'd like to restart it. The battery's dead, of course, and I'll need to jump the car, but are there any other preparations or precautions I should have in mind?

Nothing special. Brakes will be rusty and won't stop half as well for the first 20-30 miles. Once you get it started go to the gas station and fill up. Water has likely separated in the fuel. Filling up will help remix it so you don't suck straight water at some point.
