Probably for when you get thirsty before the power comes back on.

Most water plants have their own back up generators so power outages alone should not impact the water supply.

In a hurricane, does the supply get contaminated sometimes maybe? I dunno, we don't have em here

I've weathered four hurricanes in my life. I've needed my backup Water Supplies every single time.
