For between $400-700 you too can get yourself a generator that will be enough to power computers, some lights and other needed equipment to keep your home office going. The power goes out in my home about 2 weeks out of the year for different reasons. I have installed a large generator which cost me $10,000. Anytime the power goes off then within 20 seconds the generator powers up and I am up again in no time.
Usually it takes the power company 3-5 days to get the power up again. Down the street is a vulnerable point and during most any storm trees&branches fall on the lines. That 3-5 days of waiting is usually really disruptive to a person's or a family's routine. For a busy professional, the power out can mean the difference between success and failure.
If you can't afford a large setup like my own then I would just go with a smaller cheaper setup which is designed to power basic lighting, the hot water heater and basic computing. So for the survivalists in this forum a small generator could not hurt you...
