The solution is to put the rig(s) on battery power when the mains power fails.

Here in TX we have many power failures in the spring.  To prevent losing power
to the rigs at my QTH I automatically switch them the battery power when the
mains fail.Look at the west mountain site:

http://www.westmountainradio.com/RIGrunner.htm for RigRunner information and
then at http://www.westmountainradio.com/order_us48a.htm for information about
PowerGate.
