I agree with everything said so far. The first thing is to have a plan the second thing is to once or twice a year test your plan to ensure it is working. You do not have to continuously run your circulation pump you can run it for an hour every two to three hours and this will maintain your tank a lot longer. If you live in an area of major power losses and lengthy power losses you will need a much more substantial disaster plan than some who seldom has a power outage and the out never goes beyond a few hours. About not being home at the time of the power outage, your tank should be fine for the first four to six hours.
