What should I do if I lose power during a storm?

If you experience a power outage during a storm, it is important to stay calm and follow some basic safety precautions. First, check to see if your neighbors are also without power, as this will help determine if the outage is isolated to your home or part of a larger area affected by the storm. Once you confirm the outage, avoid opening your refrigerator or freezer unless absolutely necessary, as this helps keep food from spoiling. It is advisable to use flashlights or battery-powered lanterns instead of candles, as candles can pose a fire hazard. If you have any medical devices that require power, you may want to have a backup plan for power alternatives during outages. While E.ON works to restore power as quickly and safely as possible, you can stay informed by checking the latest updates on their website. They often provide information on outages and expected restoration times. Make sure to have a portable charger for your electronic devices and keep a battery-powered radio handy for weather updates.
