Default Preventing Mildew When No Electric Power

The electric company where I live has informed me that they are going
to be shutting off the electricity for most of this coming Tuesday.

That means we'll be showering and bathing in total darkness with the
bathroom exhaust fan not running due to no electric power.

I'm worried that this humidity and darkness is a setup for mildew to
start growing in the bathroom. (This actually happened to me once
before when we had a big power outage a couple of years ago.)

Anything I can do to help prevent that from happening until the power
comes back on?

You got to be really on the edge to start with to have a mold problem
due to less than 24 hours without power. Just leave the bathroom door open,
clean up after showers (you can't put off showers until the next day?) with
a towel. Clean the bath well before and after.
