What should I do if I experience a power outage?

If you experience a power outage, the first step is to report it to your utility company. Check to see if your neighbors are also without power to determine the extent of the outage. Make sure to unplug sensitive electronic equipment to prevent damage from power surges when the electricity is restored. Use flashlights instead of candles for lighting to prevent fire hazards. Wait for updates from your utility company on the restoration progress and follow any instructions they provide. It's important to stay calm and patient during power outages, as utility crews work to restore electricity as quickly and safely as possible.
