There was a major storm that disrupted infrastructure across the west coast of Ireland last year. Turned out a lot of infrastructure couldn't survive multi-day grid power loss (water plants, cell tower repeaters, etc).
Starlink is a solid backup for mitigating the risk of such disruption by having no local dependencies other than ability to power the CPE.
