For resources, would go to the store (in a attempt to get supplies before other people) bring them back and store them, fill the bathtubs, sinks, and any contains I could find with water.
For protection, my house came with storm protection steel window covers that attach to the outside of windows in the home, would probably put those up and use anything I could really find to fortify my house, would probably have my friend who owns multiple guns (2 Glocks, AR-15, and a M4) come over for protection, since I live in a pretty good sized 2 story home it would be practical. And would shoot the stuff out of any zombies that tried to break in.
My friend also owns a 10,000 Watt gasoline generator so I would probably siphon fuel out of our 3 cars (and the neighbors hehe) and keep that for power whenever we need that.
