What should I do if I experience a power outage?

Asked a year ago
If you experience a power outage, first check to see if your neighbors are also affected. If they are, contact your local utility company to report the outage. Make sure to unplug sensitive electrical equipment and appliances to prevent damage from a power surge when the power is restored. Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed to maintain the cold temperature. Use flashlights instead of candles for lighting to prevent fire hazards. Stay informed by listening to a battery-powered radio for updates on the outage. It's important to be patient during this time and follow any instructions provided by your utility company.
