What should I do if I experience a power outage?

If you experience a power outage, the first step is to check if your neighbors are also affected. If they are, report the outage to your utility company. Make sure to unplug sensitive electronics to prevent damage from power surges. Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed to preserve food. Use flashlights instead of candles to avoid fire hazards. If the outage lasts for an extended period, consider going to a designated public shelter for safety. Stay updated on the outage status through your utility company's website or social media channels.
