I provide space at some of my transmitter locations for Ham club 
repeaters. All of the sites have backup power. My own communications 
room runs on a 48VDC battery plant floating on a Lorain charger. There 
is a Generac motor/generator set that starts automatically upon utility 
failure.

A number of the groups I am aware of regularly hold drills to test their 
readiness in the event of widespread power outages. All in all, they are 
much better prepared than the communications companies. Comcast and AT&T 
will both go down within hours of a regional outage. AT&T's Uverse 
batteries will all die, and Comcast doesn't have enough power trucks to 
cover all of its outside plant at once. Even if they did, the road 
conditions might not allow the travel.
