A disaster waiting to happen

I could share a lot of stories about how this affected us. However the main danger that concerns me is the total lack of an emergency plan for this area. We're supposed to be notified by local government when there is a fire or other danger, but that notification will come via text, phone call, or email. How can we receive those when Xcel turns off all power for 5 days including power to cell towers and internet providers? We had no way to communicate or receive any warnings FOR FIVE DAYS. If there had been a fire, nobody would have been warned. Is there no plan to keep communications powered when Xcel feels the need to protect itself from blame? This must be addressed.
