first, put your modem/network equipment on a UPS and you will have at least some time to check the internet for information. turn it off when not using it to check at a later time.

second, that's when a laptop is at its best with its own battery. .

third, buy an inverter which can run from your car to the UPS / to the modem/router, etc for power to check to see that the world is still here. .

These are the cheap ways to keep some access to the outside world in the modern digital world

good luck everyone. .
