What should I do if there is a power outage?

In the event of a power outage, it is important to first check your circuit breakers or fuses to ensure the issue is not isolated to your home. If the outage is widespread, report it to your electric utility company immediately. Stay informed and be prepared by having flashlights, batteries, and non-perishable food items on hand. Avoid opening the refrigerator or freezer unnecessarily to keep food from spoiling. Consider turning off appliances and sensitive electronic devices to prevent damage from power surges when the electricity is restored. Stay safe during the outage and follow any instructions provided by your utility company.
