Idk our water had some issues last time because of a pump or something at the treatment station (I really don't remember exactly), I wasn't concerned about the toilet. I can pee outside if I need too..
I was concerned about my pipes busting if the power went out for a long time and it got cold enough inside especially if there wasn't really enough water to drip faucets. I assume there will still be water in the pipes but no pressure to push it through so freeze, bust and then you play a waiting game before you know there is a problem. I could be waaaay off on this, I'm not a plumber and would love if someone had good info because I am concerned.
Thankfully the power was pretty stable here it went out for around 45 minutes but it was a planned rolling black out so I knew and didn't panic.
