Last year it was predicted in one of the doom threads that the entire national grid was going to go down and stay down with a resultant million deaths. I'm sure it will be much the same this year.

Having said that, if you live in an apartment and you have a prolonged power outage the best thing you can do, as someone already suggested, is have a bug-out place or RV that has wood burning capacity or know someone with those capabilities that you can stay with. I have three fire places in my house and stacks of wood, as do most of the people around here, so this has not been a great source of worry for me personally.

Staying warm and being able to prepare meals over an open fire is going to take up most of your time and will be your biggest priority. I wouldn't worry too much about the internet in the situation you [OP] are describing.
