Masks
Face masks provide protection at a population level Vaccinations and hand hygiene are proven methods of reducing respiratory virus numbers.
The First Randomized, Controlled Clinical Trial of Mask Use in Households to Prevent Respiratory Virus Transmission https://www.ijidonline.com/article/S1201-9712%2808%2901008-4/fulltext
This RCT study shows that appropriate and consistent mask use is at least plausible in reducing influenza transmission. Japan used mask and they had very few deaths and are no longer in lock down but keep in mind, Japanese culture is based on honor whereas American culture is based on gluttony, pride, selfishness and greed.
Facemasks and Hand Hygiene to Prevent Influenza Transmission in Households: A Cluster Randomized Trial https://annals.org/aim/fullarticle/744899/facemasks-hand-hygiene-prevent-influenza-transmission-households-cluster-randomized-trial
A random cluster trial but includes hand hygiene which is shown to be effective.
Facemasks, Hand Hygiene, and Influenza among Young Adults: A Randomized Intervention Trial https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0029744
This intervention study compared masks+hand hygiene, masks only, and a control. Masks only were inconclusive.
Modeling the Effectiveness of Respiratory Protective Devices in Reducing Influenza Outbreak https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/risa.13181
This is a risk model showing that if there was 80% compliance with face masks that an outbreak could be eliminated.

Best for last: Effectiveness of personal protective measures in reducing pandemic influenza transmission: A systematic review and meta-analysis https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1755436516300858?via%3Dihub Here's a meta-analysis concluding that face masks only are not significantly protective.
General Preparedness
Emergency Plans: More than a collection of names, phone numbers, and street addresses, an Emergency Action Plan is an instruction manual for how to stay healthy, stay informed, and stay in contact in an emergency. Because an Emergency Action Plan affects everyone in your household, the whole household should be involved in making and practicing the plan. https://www.cdc.gov/cpr/prepareyourhealth/PlanAhead.htm
Get Your Household Ready for Pandemic Flu (another respiratory virus): CDC has developed recommended actions for preventing the spread of flu in household settings. Practice everyday preventive actions at all times. Plan for additional community non-pharmaceutical intervention actions that may be recommended by public health officials, if a flu pandemic occurs. The Before, During, and After sections of this guide offer suggested strategies to help you plan for and implement these recommendations. https://www.cdc.gov/nonpharmaceutical-interventions/pdf/gr-pan-flu-ind-house.pdf
Food Following a disaster, there may be power outages that could last for several days. Stock canned foods, dry mixes and other staples that do not require refrigeration, cooking, water or special preparation. Be sure to include a manual can opener and eating utensils. https://www.ready.gov/food
Personal Needs Personal needs include provisions, supplies, and equipment necessary to protect the health and safety of your family in an emergency. https://www.cdc.gov/cpr/prepareyourhealth/PersonalNeeds.htm
Prescriptions Many people depend on daily medications. Nearly half of Americans take at least one prescription drug, and one in four Americans take three or more medications. A pandemic or large-scale natural disaster, such as a hurricane, could make it difficult to get prescription and over-the-counter medicines so you and your family may need to rely on a prepared emergency supply. https://www.cdc.gov/cpr/prepareyourhealth/Prescriptions.htm
Emergency Kit Checklist for Kids and Families An emergency kit has all of the things that you and your family may need during an emergency in which you may have to stay inside for longer than usual or the electricity could go out. Making a family emergency kit can be fun for the family to do together. https://www.cdc.gov/childrenindisasters/checklists/kids-and-families.html
