What should I do in case of a power outage?

In case of a power outage, first check if nearby homes or streetlights are also affected. If so, report the outage to your utility company. Unplug sensitive electrical appliances and turn off major equipment to prevent damage when power is restored. Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed to maintain food freshness. Use flashlights instead of candles to reduce fire risks. Avoid using generators indoors to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Stay connected with updates from the utility company through mobile alerts or social media. Consider having a backup power source or emergency kit on hand for future outages.
