RE: Electricity needs when the grids down.
I've worked with utilities for several years now. That specific request is so they know who can't be without power/water for long periods of time. they will even plan to get a genny or bowser to you if it is important enough. Even having marine fish and exotic pets can get you special treatment.
That isn't to say it can't be retasked. Most of the data is reported to the regulatory body for that specific industry so it would be easy for them to do so.
