Don't know about the power grid, but about half the water supply in Mountain View comes from local wells, so it would not be as affected as SF, but part of the rest comes from Hetch Hetchy, so there could still be problems. Not sure if local resources get reallocated in emergencies.

Most people think hackers don't have good personal hygiene skills anyway, so I think those companies could skate for a little bit if push came to shove...
