My first thought is Where can we go to be in a warm/cool place with
lights and food. And if I think it's going to be a long stretch, how
far do we have to drive to find a hotel.

Extreme example, but when Hurricane Sandy left, my first act was
to drive to the tree service and get on their list to come take
downed trees away, the second was to find a hotel to make reservations
for a few days out so we could break up the no electricity monotony.
