What should I do in case of a power outage?

Asked 6 months ago
In case of a power outage, it is important to first check if the outage is affecting just your home or the entire neighborhood. If it seems to be just your home, check your circuit breaker to see if any switches have been tripped. If the outage is widespread, report it to your utility company. Unplug sensitive electronic equipment to prevent damage from power surges when the power returns. Use flashlights instead of candles for lighting, and avoid using generators indoors. Keep your refrigerator and freezer closed to preserve food. Stay informed by tuning in to a battery-operated radio for updates on the outage. Do not approach downed power lines and stay away from flooded areas.
