That's crazy and scary! But it's a bit different when 2 whole countries were suddenly out of power! The panic and fear are on a different level because it's difficult to contact other people, and there's the possibility of it being an attack.
There have to be backup systems that kick in. In case of a hack, which is also a possibility, the back-up systems have to be independent of the internet and manually set in motion. A emergency plan has to have that built in, a protocol of procedures. I worked on the railway in Canada in 2000 and we had such a plan in case of Y2K. As it were, hardly any of the fears materialized, most of our operations continued smoothly. But we were prepared for the worse, to keep our trains running.
