I've lived in such situations twice (though not due to natural disasters), and it was absolutely great. To begin with, after the initial shock of what the hell do I do now, everyone becomes more sociable. Soon we were playing guitar by candle lights and talking about all sorts of things. Then there is the added benefit of a good night sleep and more physically active days. In the absence of TV and Internet, everyone will play games (cards, board games, etc) and tell stories. One guy that I got to know in a refugee camp was a taxi driver back home. Having nothing to do but wait, he picked up some paint and canvas and started painting. His original works were like a 3rd grader. Two years later, he was a pretty good artist. Last I heard of him, he had his own gallery in Australia.

If your book is meant to be a suspense or man against nature kind of deal, you need a lot more than no electricity.
