You must have a proper transfer switch, etc.
I disconnect my dryer vent hose, run an extension cord into the kitchen, and selectively plug various things in. Wanna use the microwave? Shut everything else off. Fridge and fans and a light can run at once. Computer, DSL, wireless, fans, light at once (until POTS network dies ~96hrs in...). Various combos thereof.
Also have a 400w inverter that I can run off my gas sipping car or lawn mower... VERY handy to have, and at this point, you can probably still get one if you can find an open walmart or car stereo store....
You can also direct wire a lighter plug to a lawn mower batter and use that w/ a car charger to charge phones, tablets, etc.
One thing you may need to be aware of is generator theft. Can't really hide 'em, and they will be worth lots.... Out in the country where I am no problem, but in urban areas - even nice subdivisions - watch out.
