Doesn’t need to be a natural disaster. Not too long ago, a whole quarter of Berlin (Köpenick) was entirely without electricity for about 2 days because somebody drilled into both the primary and the backup 110kv cable. No water is the primary issue, but on top, without electricity, most people can’t cook their food stores and frozen/cooled stuff spoils. No shop can sell anything - cards and cash registers not working.
