No one likes it when the power goes out, but the below tips can help you make the best of an unpleasant situation.
• Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible. An unopened freezer should keep food frozen up to 48 hours. Food should remain cold in an unopened refrigerator for 24 hours. If power is out for a long period of time, use snowdrifts as a makeshift freezer for food.
• Unplug all equipment that will automatically turn on when power is restored or that may become damaged due to voltage irregularities.
• Use flashlights for emergency lighting. Do not use candles.
• Do not run a portable generator inside a home or garage. The carbon monoxide in enclosed spaces can be deadly.
