Some wire shelves to keep important stuff off of floor level. A shop vac for smaller flooded areas, or an extra sump pump if you have an underground basement.
I think some companies make these inflatable tubes that go around your house and you can fill them with water and they provide a barrier about 2-3 feet high.
It's probably expensive and uses a lot of water, and requires a clear space around your house, but it's worth considering if it's an option for you.
For a more permanent investment, you could dig a trench and mound the dirt up beside it, but this depends on what's buried nearby. You could also try routing it to an artificial pond of some sort.
Make sure the drainage ditches and culverts near your house are clear. If they're overgrown or clogged, either clear them yourself or tell your county to clear them.
Beyond that, sandbags can help with the gaps under doors if you're just dealing with a few inches.
