If you're on city water, you can let water drip and prevent freeze-up. On a well, you need to be able to run the electric water pump. We don't lose power often, but I'm very happy with my automatic whole house generator installed in 2004.. When power goes out for an extended time, gas stations can't pump. I recall being at my local hardware store once when there were people trying to buy gas cans--they were all out and word in the line was other stores were too, and only a few gas stations could pump.
Power outages can be very isolated. You can probably give a specific address to Eversource and get a history for that neighborhood.
We've also had people ask to come stay with us for a couple of hours "Until George can get the portable generator out and started".
