What to do when the power goes out
- Collect flashlights. Candles are a potential fire hazard and should be avoided.
- Preserve perishables. Keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed. A half-full freezer should keep the required temperature for a day and a full freezer for two days.
- Pack a cooler with ice if the power outage may last longer than the fridge or freezer limits.
- Keep track of food temps. Throw food away that seems questionable.
- Eat non-perishables last.
- Unplug electrical appliances to protect them from potential power surges.
- Practice generator safety. Never use generators indoors.
