If you are in an apartment, what I would do is this:
Get 2 300w battery backups from Canadian Tire. (use one, charge the other - usually power outages are localized so you should know someone with power still). Use these powerpacks for your Hydor Koralia/Tunze/Maxijet 1200 type powerheads.
If you have a bbq or better yet, a bbq with a side burner, use the side burner to heat water to heat up tank water or fw that you then pour into sealed containers to float in your tank.
Have a battery operated air pump & airstones for added circulation.
Throw thermal blankets over the tank to retain as much heat as possible.
PRAY hard! and keep a close eye on things.
Hope this helps.
I know it sounds like a lot but we have so much tied into our tanks that I think its worth the extra effort.
