If you have enough advance notice, you can buy or rent a generator with enough capacity to keep the fridge alive. Place any gasoline generator outside the house! And DO NOT connect it to the home power lines. Only to the fridge (unplug it from the wall and plug it into the generator)
I live in the Sierra foothills and had a Generac installed, that runs off the home propane supply. It has run for a week during fire and storm emergencies.
I don't have the calculations at hand, but it may or may not be the case that a big battery and inverter could do the same job. Hardware stores (here) have all kinds of generators the size you need. Renting might be wise.
I just hate wasting food.
Good luck.
