What should I do in case of a power outage?

Asked a year ago
In case of a power outage, it is important to first check if your neighbors are also affected. If not, check your circuit breaker or fuse box to make sure the problem is not isolated to your home. If there is an outage in your area, report it to your utility provider. Avoid opening your refrigerator or freezer unless absolutely necessary to keep food cold. Use flashlights instead of candles for light. Stay informed by using a battery-operated radio or mobile device for updates on the situation. Keep your cell phone charged and avoid using unnecessary electricity until power is restored. Make sure to follow any instructions or updates provided by your utility company.
