Power Outage

Power cuts can be due to rolling black outs, extreme weather conditions, or accompany other disasters such as earthquakes. If there is no power in your neighborhood:

Turn off all appliances, computers, and lights – except one that will indicate when power has been restored.
Keep the refrigerator closed; this will help to keep food cold longer.
Be very careful of fire hazards caused by candles and other flammable light sources. Never leave an open flame unattended.
When power is restored, check all appliances.
If a traffic signal is not working, treat it as a stop sign.
