Unless you install a large back-up generator, the idea of service that quickly restore power during utility restore the damaged system was a bit far-fetched.
However, let's assume that new smart grid technology could provide a service to give you either full or limited service during the 24 hour outage, but this emergency service will cost you.
There are two ways to using this service.

First is to call this power company to provide an emergency electricity
for one time service during the next 24 hour outage.
If you are using one-day-24-hour-service, then you will
pay whenever you use the service.

Second is
buy an electricity insurance for one month. In that case, this insurance will cover your electricity regardless of how many times power disruptions happen or how long it would take.
In this case, you pay
insurance premiums every month when you pay for electricity bill.
