I'll offer four observations:
First, when 'crap' happens...generally, who you do not want in charge of emergency chaos for your problem...is a politician. You want a emergency service 'professional' or some military guy with a sense of priorities.
In the Berlin case....neither the CDU or SPD politicians did a job worth bragging about.
I suspect both parties lost voters in the next election because of this.
Second, the dimwit-group responsible for the destruction of the powerlines....needs to locked away for the remainder of their lives. They are a threat to society.
Third, if I were Putin's crew and needing some type of action against Germany....this event gave me a thousand ideas about inflicting damage on German society. Frankly, I'd be worrying about how this went.
Finally, you need to think about the worst event that could happen to your house, and have a plan 'B' idea about actions to take.

Having lived through a week-long blizzard and a week-long ice storm over the years, I'm a firm believer in extra food , water , warmth and generators!
Our standby generators and portable generators , a thing in germany?
Majority of Germans will say they have dependable power and buying a portable unit isn't necessary (even I would say that). THW...the gov't-run emergency services engineering folks...has generators that they could drag in, but they 'loaned' out most of what they had to Ukraine. Some THW unit from far western part of Germany got called around end of the 2nd day....they had some generators....by the 3rd day, they'd delivered them at hospitals/old folks homes.
It's just extraordinary that power is out for more than eight hours here. Past ten years in my 'valley'....longest outage was maybe four hours.
