I would be doing large daily water changes where I can, this way if the power does go out for a few days the water will be cleaner going into that situation.
I would also cut back feedings to once every couple of days and completely stop if the power does go out...again think clean water.
You could also invest in some small battery operated air pump that are used with bait buckets, this way the water can still be somewhat circulated. They make them for aquariums but since it say that word they're 5x more expensive.
If you do lose power don't panic as most fish will be fine unless the tanks are grossly overstocked or under filtered they will be good for days on end.
We are prepping for the storm also. I have a second generator just for the fish room but if gas starts to be hard to come by, I will be doing the same steps mentioned above.
These hurricanes can be a very trying and stressful time, so please everyone say a little prayer for those of us who live in affected areas. Please stay safe and be smart.
Well everything went fine no deaths and only lost power for a few hours.

I know it's hard to think this way while going through what you're going through but "It could have been worse." At least you are able to still be here and posting.
Hope everything works out for you
