This one goes both ways. There were major floods in Australia a year or two ago (I think it was both, actually - we've had a pretty awful time with natural disasters). An acquaintance of mine felt a little smug charging his car from solar/battery setup and going about his merry way while people were unable to refuel with petrol. Distributed renewal energy systems are more disaster-resilient than fossil fuel distribution networks in some ways.
