Great start! Feel free to x-post to /r/bugout, as they'll have some more suggestions. Here are my thoughts:
I (as well as many, many others) was stuck without power for about a week in an early winter in October here in the North East US when it snowed before the trees dropped their leaves. This caused a mess.
Here's some things that helped me get through the week (in no order):
Good luck, stay safe!
Here's a little tip I picked up at a Mas Ayoob class.
1. Get some chemlights.
2. Attach spare house key to a chemlight.
3. Draw a really shitty floorplan on a 3x5" card. It doesn't have to be a masterpiece, keep it simple and focus on doors and highlight bedrooms.
4. Rubberband 3x5" card to chemlight.
This way, if movement is restricted or the bad guy's location is unknown, you can attempt to get the chemlight out of a window or access so that responders have some information to work with and a key. Be sure to tell dispatch you are doing this, and where you tossed it.
Optional: Write garage door codes on the card and keep a golf pencil in the rubberband so you can mark your location on the card.
Dude you've got to get some of these glowsticks:

They're brighter than any glowstick I've ever seen and glow for 12 hrs without dimming. They've been my obsession recently. Highly recommend ordering some thin paracord to make the ultimate party necklace/poi/source of happiness for each of your friends.
Other suggestions for your get-together:
My friends and I like to move all the furniture out of the middle of the living room to create open floor space for dancing and sprawling out on the ground. Make a huge pile of blankets and pillows in the middle of the room and set the speakers up right in front of it!
We also love to get variety packs of different craft beers and try them while rolling! Things taste so different you may be surprised!
Obviously water is very important. It can be very nice to squeeze a lemon or lime into your ice water for a refreshing zing. Really perks you up!
15 people is a large group, so there's a good chance you'll have people in different moods/states of mind. It may be a good idea to set up 2 or 3 different rooms with different lighting, music, vibes so if anyone isn't feeling where they're at, they can move elsewhere.
Fruit is always a great idea. Just make sure to cut it up beforehand so you aren't dealing with knives while impaired lol.
Cigarettes and or vapes if you guys use nicotine. The smoking area is always a popular spot to hang out during a roll party!
Vicks vapor rub is also great to rub on each other's faces/necks while rolling so a little jar of that would be awesome.
These are good
These or these are never a bad idea either, no matter how good of a swimmer you are!

Better than road flares - Spend the $10 and get a box of ChemLights (http://www.amazon.com/Cyalume-ChemLight-Military-Chemical-Duration/dp/B0052ZAPXU).
Tie a piece of string through the loop on a few of them (but don't crack them). In case of an emergency like in the article, you can crack the light to activate it and spin it in a circle (called a NATO Buzzsaw) that is VERY VERY obvious to see from a distance. It will make people stop their car well in advance. You can use other ChemLights to block off the lane the way road flares are used. If you have a passenger(s) to perform NATO Buzzsaws, it will be much safer for you to help someone that got in an accident or needs help changing a tire.

Everyone should be certified in CPR if they can; it's not as difficult as it sounds. It's ~$80 for the first 2-year certification through the American Heart Association (much cheaper than through the Red Cross) and then I believe $40 for renewals after that. The importance of CPR is not to save someone on your own, but to keep someone alive long enough for EMTs/emergency physicians to arrive.
I'd also recommend blankets in your trunk, and a first aid kit with gauze wraps in place of band-aids, preferably compression bandages. A Tourniquet is great if you know how to use it but be careful, some states have laws against using them.
These glowsticks are insanely bright and last all night. I cracked them in the middle of a crowd at WEMF and they caught people's attention even among the hordes of other glowsticks.

Now why he'd have it in his paintball kit, I don't know. Unless maybe he did night games.

For glow sticks, you can also find something like this
My thoughts exactly. Either a glow stick or a flare.
