Don't forget to include a heavy-duty UPS able

Oh yeah, of course I've got a UPS... Apparently the cablemodem router
in my apartment building has one too, because I'm able to stay on the
Internet during power outages even after the whole building has gone dark. (Which means I'm able to actually do what our
electric company says
about going onto their web site to let them know about blackouts... It's
still hilarious that they tell people that though.)
So people can report it via smartphone or from another building that
isn't having power problems, maybe?
