A portable makes sense and is cost-effective. And for Yaofeng, a small Honda generator might do the trick if someone will be there to turn it on and it's wired up correctly.
My wife has written instructions on how to use the generator and has practiced doing it. She can start it herself. What drove us to get one is that these "big events" are becoming more common. Our NH town has had "100 year floods" in half of the past 10 years. Widespread power outages, which used to be rare, are now happening almost annually.
Sure, we live in a rural area, while Yaofeng lives in a NJ suburb, but I'm not sure it matters because the infrastructure doesn't seem to be what it once was. And if we're up against Nature some preparation goes a long way.
