Wondering what other reefers have in the way of their emergency equipment? What are your go-to protocols and must haves in the way of supplies?

As in if your power/water is out for an extended period of time. We have a little battery back up with a plug for our heaters and some rechargeable air pumps for oxygenation type things but we also have 3 tanks in different rooms (main 40B tank, 20L coral frag tank and 29 FW/live planted) so I am trying to be prepared and see more options BEFORE anything happens.
 
I have lots of water in storage and salt and canned food and weapons including a harpoon (silent but can stop a whale), and sunscreen, and I keep my ears on the rails to hear if the trains are running.
