What should I do if I have a power outage?

During a power outage, it is important to remain calm and prioritize safety. First, check if the outage is localized to your home or if it affects a broader area. This can typically be determined by observing the behavior of neighbors or checking your local news sources for updates. If you suspect a more widespread outage, you may want to wait for updates from your utility provider, as they often provide information on estimated restoration times. Ensure that you have candles, flashlights, or other emergency lighting available, and do not use any candles unattended. If your refrigerator is without power for an extended period, it is advisable to keep the door closed to maintain the cold temperature for as long as possible. In instances of extended outages, consider having an alternative source of power, such as a generator, though it should be used safely and outside to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. For specific information regarding your outage, you might want to check the official Infinite Energy website, as they may provide guidance tailored to their customers.
