The backup battery dies after 8 hours. Then your SOL.
If you have a generator or battery/inverter or UPS you can extend that.
As being one who lived through the Northridge Earthquake, I had no power for a week and felt lucky when my power was turned back on. My POTS line (all that was available at that time) never missed a beat. FiOS, or even multiple battery back-ups, can't beat that.
I had power and phone back up in 24 hours. Sounds like you were living in wrong place at wrong time.
