You are likely already at the mercy of some local hut for your

any hut has more than 24 hours of battery. 

The AT&T (formerly BellSouth) cabinets around here mostly have natural
gas generators included, so they almost never go out.  The cable
companies, on the other hand, might have enough battery to last through
a brownout.
