Keep your solar up and functional, even if there is power on the camp.
Keep enough dryfoods and fresh water for at least a few days, and increase this to 7-10 days supply when something like Odile or Jimena is in forecasts. You can live without shower, but you can't live without drinking water.
There can be no gas stations running because of power outage, so you won't be able to refill your generator or even get to gas station or grocery store - because there can be no road. Many small towns are now "incommunicado" - no roads to get in and out, and there won't be running water for at least a week.
The last and most important lesson: don't go there in September :)... What all those tourists - stranded in SJD airport or on the road without gas - were thinking? This is exactly the month when hurricanes come, and it's also hot and humid like hell. If you're expat living there fulltime, this I can understand, you got no choice then.
