For us it is not that difficult as we live in a semi-rural area that is prone to frequent power outages, we actually had one yesterday that lasted about 2 hours. Emergency back-up generators are nice and we have one but for prolonged outages, say 2 months, fuel is a problem. So other plans should be considered in addition.

A small solar panel can keep phones and other small devices charged. Devilwatt has thermo-electric generators you can set on a woodstove to produce electricity.

If you have a stationary bike, there are ways to modify it to produce power. There are also ways to modify a bike to do other things, like grind grain into flour, or saw a log. It's an interesting rabbit hole to go down.
