You've just listed 5 sites that could suddenly be very important in any new T2K modules/private games looking for a location or reason for a mission!

They would be useless.
In case of a situation with threat to a site, all non-essential personal will be released and sent to take their families to safety. All non-essential systems will be shut down at the site. Essential personnel may remain on-site depending on what core systems must remain online. If the world situation continues to worsen, then the site administrator will make the decision to shut everything down depending on how long the site could stay powered. For example, if local power grid is going to be offline for quite possibly months and the site only has 15 days worth of power, then everything will be powered off and any remaining essential personnel will then be released and sent to take their families to safety.
So, even if the site was intact and not subject to a nuclear surface or air strike or damaged by an EMP burst, you will need those essential personnel to start powering on all of those systems and not screw things up. And those personnel will have likely run for the hills and will unfortunately most likely be dead.
