Power down.

Turn off all electrical equipment and most lights to prevent circuit overload when power returns. Leave one light on inside and one outside to indicate when power is restored.

Post-restoration wait.

After power is restored, wait for 10-15 minutes before turning all your electrical equipment back on. This helps stabilize the system and prevents overloading.

Keep essential emergency supplies handy, such as flashlights, a battery-operated radio, and water, to stay safe during an outage. Ensure your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors have working batteries.
