Generally for the basic resources it's best to simply keep them below the natural regeneration cap because the natural regen really does add up over time and combined with expeditions for the duration of the event is normally enough to complete it. Repair buckets however are worth stocking up on, so spending some time doing expediton 2 until you get a few hundred buckets is a good idea. As Hot Cocoa said, leveling your ships to their first remodel and then modernising their firepower and armour is a good start, ideally you will want at least 4 ships combat-ready of each ship type in case of unusual branching rules or two-front events so it would be a good idea to get another battleship.

It's also important to get some good equipment as the difference between a level 30 ship and a level 80 ship is minimal if they are both fully modernised, but a couple of good guns can make so much difference. It's worth trying to get at least a couple of 46cm triple guns and a few high-end fighters from development before the event. If you are wanting to save resources for the event it's still worth trying for anti-sub equipment or observation seaplanes on your daily construction quests due to the recipes being very cheap (I use 10/10/10/20 for ASW gear and 20/20/10/20 for observation seaplanes).
