Your priorities are good, though you lack DD and (to a lesser extent) CA & CL levels. I would recommend preparing the following ships:

1 (high priority). Sendai k2, Yuudachi k2, Shigure k2

2 (good but not so important). Myoukou&Ashigara kai or Takao/Atago kai

As always, I would recommend 3-2A grinding since it doesn't use any buckets, and it also drops lots of mod fodder (including AA fodder).

With air-fields, twin-engined bombers and potentially this introduced in the event, I expect our bauxite to be chewed up quickly, but that doesn't mean the enemy won't retaliate with planes. Maybe we'll be capturing an air base (unless we're building and completing Henderson Field  as a "what-if" situation). I would still recommend having a dedicated anti-air ship prepared just in case. It might be tedious, but I would recommend grinding either Maya (to lv75) or Fubuki (to lv70) just in case, with Maya k2 being the far better option.

Your equipment and resources are fine for easy mode, though you may want more buckets in case you want to farm. A lot of people (including myself) are suspecting that landing crafts will be recommended/required in the event, but I doubt the devs would stop a player from advancing in the event just because they don't have a hard-to-obtain-early-in-the-game equipment. Maybe they'll reward a landing craft in an earlier map, I don't know.

Depending on the rewards, I would recommend completing the first map on medium (or even hard) mode, as the first map is usually very easy. You can drop down to easy mode for the rest of the event.

Good luck!
