Pop up laundry hampers.
Do you have a place to go where you could set up the cages? Reptibreeze cages break down and you could transport them that way if you need them at your destination. For a short drive like vet visits and such chams can be transported in a small carrier or box, or pop up laundry hampers are a great idea per @MissSkittles
Best of luck and I hope everything is okay

I just buy pet carriers made for small pets.
Along with something to perch on if required, not luxury housing but good for a few days.

Not my idea...was suggested to me last year when a hurricane was headed towards me.
Yikes. Sort of off topic, but maybe not so much: I've wondered what people do if the power goes out for an extended period of time due to storm impacts.

Florida heat/humidity with no central ac = pray for death to take us quickly. ?
Seriously, I’d probably take my chams outside for some natural uvb.

For the pop-up carriers, take a fake vine that is sturdy enough, yet flexible, and ziptie it a couple of places in the carrier for the chameleon to perch on. I also throw an old hand towel in the bottom for easy clean-up.

If an extended period is a few days, they should be fine as long as the temps remain within their tolerable ranges. If an extended period is a few weeks or more, I'd consider a generator or backup power supply.
A lot depends on where you are, the local climate, time of year, etc.
During the summer isn't TOO much of an issue where I'm from, and natural light is feasible, but it's the winter I worry about. I know my local exotic vet does lodging for reptiles too and in an emergency I could always drop them off there... provided they have power and I can drive out to them...
A long term solution of a backup power supply definitely isn't a bad idea in my case.
Good luck to you...

My suggestion is to get one when you don't need it. When you do need it, suddenly the supply disappears and/or the price skyrockets. (Voice of experience)
