The good thing about keeping old cell phones is that you don't need service to dial 911. Other than that you would have to run to a neighbors house or a pay phone.

Even if your cell phone was working, towers can be blown down or damaged during a natural disaster. Landlines are a bit more reliable. Since you have no phone now, you can't call out and no one can call in. That's how life was before we had telephones. I also experienced that when Florida had all those hurricanes. We no phones at all for a few days. I could not call my family in another city to let them know I was still alive. arrrrrrr gave a good answer. Since you have a computer and internet, use Skype or Yahoo Phone Out. Since you can't call 911, have the police and fire department phone numbers handy.

You should also get yourself a mobile/'cell' phone IF this fails, hook up to Skype. Its free, people can contact you in an emergency, but it wont call 999 (or 911 for yanks) You should get yourself a landline.
