Supplies in the event of a disaster

Power outage at Hamburg airport - already is the mini-disaster there. What do you do in a maxi-disaster? An official statement states: "The growing vulnerability of modern infrastructure and resource dependency offers multiple points of attack." What does this mean?

It could happen that in a very large room - half Germany z. B. - the power fails. Due to ongoing storms with floods, the villages and towns are devastated. Gas stations are out of gas. You can not get in the car quickly and drive away. What do you do when the refrigerator is empty and warm, the freezer is no longer power and spoil things, the Internet is not working, the smartphone battery is empty? Every hospital and every major data center has backup power. Private people do not have that.
