You should always be prepared for
power outages, they can occur at any time. Here are some simple
things to do to prepare for them before they happen.
- Keep at least one flashlight and extra batteries handy.
Also enough candles and matches. A battery powered radio is also
handy.
- Know where your electrical service panel is located.
- Keep an emergency supply of convenience foods that do not
require cooking.
- Even if the power is out your phone may be working because
the telephone system is operated on a separate electrical current.
