How to Respond During a Power Outage: 3 Simple Tips
1. Get ready in advance
Having a plan in place for meals, conditioning, medical needs, and power sources is the best approach to handle a power outage. If you have a landline with a backup battery or a portable radio, you can make sure you don't miss critical information from your neighbors or other reliable sources.
2 Locate the Cause of the Outage
Do you have an outage in your home alone? Try looking out your windows to see whether the houses next door have lights on if the weather makes it hazardous to walk outside. You can check your switches or fuses if they do. A qualified electrician should be contacted if the problem continues.
3. Hazard from Carbon Monoxide
You might use camp stoves, charcoal grills, and generators as alternative power sources for meals and heat during a winter power failure. Due to the potential for carbon monoxide poisoning, these should only be used outside and away from windows.
