  • Keep flashlights, a battery-powered radio and fresh batteries handy. 
  • Have at least one telephone that is not dependent on electricity. (Cordless phones won’t work during a power interruption.) 
  • Keep a supply of non-perishable food and bottled water on hand. 
  • If you have a cell phone, make sure the battery is fully charged. 
  • Contact neighbors to see if their power is off. You may have simply blown a fuse or tripped a circuit breaker.
