I can't remember what I had a power outage--if ever. I live in a large metropolitan area--San Diego. However, the Internet goes down for short periods. Also, lost my email several times until I changed my provider.

In my area, we do have a shortage of power supply that's why I made provision for a power generator and multiple devices I can work with in cases of emergency.

And I hardly run out of internet connection because of easy access to the network now.

We have often short outages when it is stormy. I have a huge power bank and it works. But if the electricity is gone for a long period we don't have Internet anymore. We have only mobile connections here (North Lapland) and when the sender has no electricity, we have no Internet connection. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do to be prepared. Luckily is has not happened often.
