Ask your firewall vendor. It isn't rocket science to add
support for multiple prefixes. If you all ask they will
listen.

Configure a secure channel to push that information to them.
I do that today for IPv4 for my home network. My ISP changes
my address and I automatically inform the people that need
to know of the address change. I also get zero advance
notice of the address change. I just wake up in the morning
and find that it has changed at 3 am. Happens about once
every 3 months.

Talk to your router vendor.
I was not kidding when I suggested that router and firewall
vendors should renumber regularly. The only way to make
this sort of thing work is to exercise the path until all
the problems are gone.
