If there is an upcoming outage that will impact your household, follow these tips to help yourself to be prepared.
Before the outage
- Charge mobile phones, tablets, and laptops. Set up a mobile phone alarm clock if you usually use an alarm clock that's plugged in.
- Ensure you know how to manually operate your electric roller door/electric gates.
- Turn off stoves and heaters so they don’t come back on if you’re not home when power returns.
- Turn off and unplug any electrical appliances so they won’t be affected by any potential electrical spikes when the power is turned back on.
If the outage occurs in the evening, have torches with full batteries handy.
During the outage
