When our power went out last summer I looked for backup options, without
needing to start the gas generator. I found this and got one. It worked
great to keep the cablemodem and wifi router running for at least 2 hrs
during the next outage.

One of these would work to backup bed and mattress for an hour or more

Eric... I know exactly where you're coming from, so don't worry about it.

We always make sure we call to report an outage asap, even when it is a
area-wide outage. A friend of mine who worked for the state department that
regulates utilities said that important to do since they prioritize where
people have reported an outage.

Call me a cynic but, I don't see the utilities running around the
city during a major outage restoring power to a person here and a
person there when there's tens or hundreds of thousands of people
without power.  I was on my local utilities "list" and was still
without power for 3 days.  I'm a vent user and they didn't make me a
priority.  Granted this was an epic outage but point being don't
rely on "lists" -have an emergency game plan.

However, I my

I have. Also I have a van with a ezlock, I use to drive but not since I took 
myself off the road in 2010.

About 5 years ago I went to 2 fire & rescue houses and showed them how to 
manually release my ezlock system.

Actually, I called ahead and told them what I wanted to accomplish and they 
gathered as many volunteers as possible.

When I got there I stayed locked in and said;

"Ok, you just responded to a emergency call and found me just as I am, locked 
in and unresponsive."

"How are you going to get me out?"

 

They didn't know.

I showed them the manual release button on the ezlock.

 

Everyone who has a van and and ezlock system or another type of tie down system 
should visit there local fire and rescue house.

I had better do that so my answer is no. But I have been under so much
stress over the last 3 months I am still trying to keep up with getting
anything done including change of address for Social Security and Medicare.

However, I my electric company and gas company each gave me a pamphlet to
take to my physician to have them sign it so if the utilities were to go
out I would be the first one to come to. Since I am dependent upon a
rotating air mattress, an electric hospital bed, wheelchair charger and
Hoyer lift charger, etc. I NEED them to know that so at least I have done
that. They actually offered to do that when I first contacted them.
