What should I do if I experience a power outage?

Asked 6 months ago
If you experience a power outage, first check to see if the outage is affecting your entire neighborhood or just your home. If it's just your home, check your circuit breaker or fuse box to make sure the issue isn't internal. If the outage is affecting your neighborhood, report it to your utility company immediately. Unplug sensitive electronic devices to prevent damage from power surges once power is restored. Keep flashlights and fresh batteries on hand for emergencies. Stay updated on the status of the outage through your utility company's website or social media channels. Remember to stay safe and never approach downed power lines.
