Communication network reconfiguration for electrical power events

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processing system including at least one processor deployed in a communication network, cause the processing system to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• detecting an electrical power event of an alternating current electrical power distribution network;
• selecting one or more remedial actions in the communication network in response to a severity level of the electrical power event, wherein the processing system is configured to apply different sets of one or more remedial actions for different severity levels of electrical power events;
• and
• implementing the one or more remedial actions to reconfigure the communication network in response to the severity level of the electrical power event.
