If it's just your chilled weekly food cook-at-home kit, the company will just eat the loss usually. No biggie.

While if it's a medical emergency, you should always have a backup plan anyways since packages get delayed for days all the time even without blackouts. Just last month an Amazon package of mine took 3 weeks to arrive because the UPS had temporarily lost it I guess.

UPS is not a life-saving service, and nobody should be relying on it as such.
