If the power where I live went out a lot, I would be looking into why so many outages. I have had good luck, just a few times in several years. One time we could hear the boom caused by arc-over. I went down a few blocks and saw the 12kV lines lying on the roof of the house. Some others were sagging a lot, they got hot enough to almost melt. Obviously a very high current fault. It affected a half dozen square blocks.
I see the big socket on the side of cellular cabinets. If there is an extended power outage, there won’t be enough portable generators to keep more than a few cell sites running. This seems to me to be the biggest gotcha.
