What should I do if my power goes out?

Asked 6 months ago
If your power goes out, the first thing to do is to check if your neighbors also lost power. If they do, then it's likely a widespread issue and you should report the outage to your utility company. Make sure to unplug sensitive electronic equipment and leave a couple of lights on to know when power is restored. Stay updated on the outage by checking your utility company's website or social media. Avoid opening the fridge or freezer unnecessarily to keep food from spoiling. If the outage lasts longer than a few hours, consider finding temporary accommodation or staying with friends or family. Stay safe and stay informed during the outage.
