Sure, and you should stock up on electric heaters and frozen food too.

A call to FEMA’s news desk, however, found even they didn’t have any non-Internet information readily available beyond suggestions that people call 911 in an emergency. When asked where folks should turn for information if they have no power, a FEMA worker said, “Well, those people who have a laptop with a little battery life on it can try that way. Otherwise, you’re right.”

Nice Phred - except you ignored this little tid-bit: 

Fugate also talked up battery-operated or hand-cranked radios during interviews on morning news shows

I have a couple of those, hand-cranked flashlights also; what's more because I'm not an applephile my handy little smart-phone has radio reception also.
