Ramp up the room heat before power goes out.
Wrap incubator in blankets to help hold the heat,
do not cover up any vent holes tho.
It should be fine.

I would cover the incubator in towels or blankets to keep the warmth in. It is tempting for me to check the temperature but don't! If you do it will let out the heat that's trapped in the incubator.

Also @aart is right don't cover the vent holes.

How do I not cover the vent holes if the blanket has to go on top of the incubator

Pic of your incubator might help.
Might use towels folded lengthwise to cover lid and leave vents uncovered.
You'll have to be creative.

Depending on your incubator ... and how much power it needs ... a UPS might keep it going ... or even a small power inverter that you plug into your cigarette lighter in your vehicle ... bigger ones would need to clamp onto the battery ...

A few bricks or concrete paver blocks heated in your oven prior on "low" and placed near the incubator, with towels around to create a micro climate ... plus aart's suggestions ...

Three hours is not really that long ... but, if your in Alaska ... you might want to put another log on the fire! Depending on where you live ... your inside house temp could drop ... bump them up now ...

I would fold up one big blanket and put it underneath the bator.
Roll up another blanket(or two) and wrap it around the sides of the bator.
Fold a towel and drape across the middle of the lid, avoiding the vents on the ends of the windows and the red plug vents.

This^^^

Especially that 3 hours is not that long.
Don't panic when power comes back on and temp is low,
just let it come back up to temperature,
give it a few hours to do so without making any adjustments.
The air in the bator will cool down much faster than the eggs themselves.
