I don't have any special capability because outages are very rare but we recently had one that affected 3 of the small cities that make up Auckland, well over 600,000 people and people were complaining that it would never happen in America - yet it has and it does. Webhosts were criticised for not having alternate power supplies (ie Generators) yet we see MySpace go offline when LA had their power problems. If they don't have decent hosting then who does?
Personally I took the time to clear my desk, make some phone calls (because most people have atleast one phone that doesn't require electricity and the exchanges were still up) and kick back.
