Probably because the power failure was a symptom of the overall attack on the planets electronics and communications.
We have a power cut a tranny can still pick up radio stations outside our area but in this case they would be down as well and all backup systems will be down and communications between groups who can fix the problems are down.
Of course for dramatic effect the events would have been speedup to show the breakdown of civilisation in the timeframe of a TV episode but in real life we seen localised riots become war zones in a day.
For a technological based society we forget how close to catastrophe we really are.
