If you decide on a generator, have an electrician install a sub panel with a disconnect from the main. Then breaker & power only the essentials staying within the design load of whatever generator you have. Add a weather protected exterior outlet to connect the generator to the sub panel and bolt in a heavy anchor to chain it up.
You'll need to maintain a fuel can with Sta-Bil mixed in too, if you really want to be prepared.
