A power outage at a cryogenics facility would not be as critical as you might think. To achieve cryogenic temperatures, the samples are stored in liquid nitrogen. There is very little refrigeration necessary to maintain temperature, therefore an outage would not cause widescale melting of everything in storage. Nevertheless, they would likely have redundant UPS and generator systems to supply whatever power needs would be required.
BTW, aren't you that "What should I do? R*tard?

Hopefully they have some kind of backup generator. but if that was broken or something... i don't think you'd want to live very close to it, if you have any sense of smell that is.
Of course they could just decide to have a HUGE frozen "mystery meat" sale at your local costco, ; ) other then that, they'd probably use it for school lunches around the country for a while.
