No power for a tenant for tree removal

I had to get a large elm tree taken down (dutch elm) and it was near the power lines coming to the house.   Through no fault of their own they didn't have power for most of the day (8:00am to 10:00pm - Long delay in the power company coming back more than the 5-7 hours originally expected).   I did give them plenty of notice and yet I feel responsible for inconveniencing them - no air conditioning, fridge/freezer, they had to eat out, etc. etc.  How do I "make it right"?   Rent credit for food lost in the fridge?   Target gift certificate?   Restaurant gift certificate?

Thanks in advance!

-Erik
