How do you fuel the trucks? How do you pump the fuel to the Truck Rack to fill the tankers?
Energy companies typically won’t spend money on anything that not related to production or delivery of their product.
They don’t understand complex computer systems at an institutional level.

You don’t. I’ve always said when trucks stop, whatever the reason, it’s over. One doesn’t visibly see the inside of an empty gasoline truck, one sees the gasoline truck itself not moving. One doesn’t see the inside of a gasoline tank in a regular truck or the inside of his/her gasoline tank in his/her car but they do see the trucks and cars not moving.
The article throws in water utilities not working and that would happen if power is out. Our state law requires water utility districts to have backup power (generators) for a specified number of days and I don’t believe it’s over two weeks.
Hospitals have one or more generators but our hospital generator did not come on after Ike so they had no power. Don’t expect anything to work that requires power even if the entity has a generator.
There is nothing made by man that won’t fail. Consider nothing works if power if out and prepare for that - you have to generate your own power to make your own equipment work as you are cut off from the outside world.
I say I have my own country and I am President for Life of my country. My country consists of my house and back garden. I produce the power to run the lights, the fans if it is hot, the heat if it is cold, the water, the food, the cooking medium, the medical care and medicine, the security, AND THE ENTERTAINMENT.
