If you lose power, check your circuit breakers or fuses. If none have tripped/blown, call it in.
Don't assume you neighbor already has.

Other Steps During an Outage
- To safeguard your equipment and appliances - and to ease the initial load when power is restored - turn off or unplug televisions, VCRs, DVD players, stereos, computers, and appliances that use electric motors such as refrigerators, freezers or air conditioners, until power is restored. Leave an incandescent light on so you know when the power comes back on.
- Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed. These appliances are well insulated, so food will keep for hours if opening the door is kept to a minimum.
- Use a flashlight or battery-powered lantern for light. Use care when burning candles; open flames are a dangerous fire hazard.
- During cold weather, keep warm safely. Put on extra clothes or wrap up in blankets. DON'T rely on gas stoves, kerosene space heaters, charcoal grilles or other open-flame heat sources. Deadly carbon monoxide gas - which is odorless and invisible - may build up in your home without you realizing it.
