Association between power outages and cardiovascular and
respiratory hospitalizations...

I live in a building with more than 60 residents, all senior
citizens, and every power outage has been very difficult for the
people here. I once pleaded with the power company to give
special consideration to this building, which probably should
have a backup generator (but isn't likely to get one), because
there are people here on oxygen, people who can't get out
without the elevator, people in such frail health that extremes
of heat or cold are harmful to them. That request got no
response.

power outages and cardiovascular and respiratory
hospitalizations among US Medicare beneficiaries in 2018: A
case-crossover study":
