What should I do if I experience a power outage?

If you experience a power outage, the first step is to ensure your safety and that of others around you. You should check to see if your neighbors are also affected by the outage to determine if it is an isolated incident or a wider issue. If the outage appears to be widespread, it is a good idea to monitor local news sources or social media platforms for updates regarding the situation. Next, it is advisable to conserve any battery-powered devices you may have and avoid opening your refrigerator or freezer unnecessarily, as this helps maintain the temperature and keeps food safe for a longer period. If you have medical devices that require electricity, make plans for how you will manage without power, considering any alternative power sources you may have. For more information, including any potential updates or estimated restoration times, you may want to refer to the official website of the Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority. Here, you can find additional resources and contact information if you require further assistance. Your safety is paramount during an outage, so take necessary precautions and remain informed.
