This is where I store my bitcoin. Is there anything I need to do or be concerned about with this fork for users who keep their bitcoin local?

As a side note, does anyone have a suggested wallet for storing ether?

MyEtherWallet is a sane wallet. They have their code in github so you can run locally, they have a .com website and a chrome extension. Personally I create some paper wallets and keep them safe, then I use MyEtherWallet chrome plugin for read-only access to the wallets. When I want to spend some ETH I scan the private key and spend immediately. All the excess funds form the transaction goes into another "locked" paper wallet.
