What should I do if I experience a power outage?

Asked a year ago
If you experience a power outage, the first step is to check if your neighbors are also affected to determine the scope of the outage. Next, report the outage to your utility company as soon as possible. Be prepared with your account information and any details about the outage. To stay safe during a power outage, keep food refrigerators and freezers closed, use flashlights instead of candles, and avoid any downed power lines. It's also a good idea to have an emergency kit with essential supplies on hand. Do not attempt to repair any electrical issues yourself and always follow the instructions provided by your utility company during an outage.
