From my personal perspective, i would highly suggest that you DO NOT gather resources. Being near the softcap is sufficient to last you the entire event - because you have expeditions overnight to cushion your resource expenses if you take the event slowly. Source is me - because i've done it. Of course, this changes when the event is either large scale or medium/hard difficulty. The point is that no matter how many resources you have, it's useless if your ships can't clear the map. Just make sure you stay around softcap (25000) before the event starts.

What you should do at this moment is to level up your weaker areas of your fleet. Down below i've set objectives that should be achievable within a short time frame of one week.

From what i can see so far, you need to level up your CAV to 40-50, Shimakaze and Asashio to at least 50+, Chitose A (AV form) to at least 20-30 (DO NOT KAI), level Nagato and Mutsu to at least level 40-50, Kongou to at least 40, Ise to at least 40.

In terms of equipment, start  immediately to craft AP shells with the recipe 10/30/90/10 with BB FS. These are essential to killing high armoured targets - e.g. BB escorts or sometimes even event bosses. Craft 2 more Type 3 shells (for anti-installation purposes). Craft at least 2 Reppuu/Shiden K2 and finally craft more Torpedo bombers (e.g. Ryuusei or Ryuusei Kai). Torpedo bombers have become very important in the game, especially since the introduction of LBAS mechanics.
