Take the following precautions to prepare for a power cut:
• Make sure you have torch(es) handy with charged up batteries.
• Make sure you have warm clothing available as your gas and electric heating will be affected in a power cut.
• In the event of a power cut keep medicines and food as cool as possible. Try not to open fridges and freezers unnecessarily.
• Trap heat by drawing curtains and closing doors
• Keep your mobile phone and any laptops/tablets charged. You may need these to call for help or get an update. If you have a power bank keep that charged too.
If you are unlucky enough to have a power cut then you can call 105 to get an update on when power is likely to be restored.
I hope you find this useful.
