POWER CUT


  • Switch off. Switch off all electrical appliances and items at the plug if safe to do so. This ensures that if the power surges upon recovery that it doesnt damage electrical your equipment.
  • Leave on. Leave a light on so you know when the power cut has been fixed.
  • Check. Check to see if your neighbours are safe and if they have a power cut too. If they have power, your trip switch may have activated.
  • Wrap up. If it's cold, wrap up warm and close internal doors to keep the heat in.
  • Step back. Stay well away from any downed power lines outside – they could still be energised.
  • FOOD! Keep an eye on frozen food – it might not be safe to refreeze defrosted food.
