# Power Outage
|
||||
|
||||
## Immediate Steps
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Check if it's local or widespread**
|
||||
- Check the circuit breaker panel (see [[electrical|Electrical Panel Locations]])
|
||||
- Look if neighbors have power
|
||||
- Check with electric company
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Report the outage**
|
||||
- Electric Company: *TBD*
|
||||
- Account Number: *TBD*
|
||||
- Outage reporting website/app: *TBD*
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Preserve food**
|
||||
- Keep refrigerator/freezer doors closed
|
||||
- Fridge stays cold ~4 hours, freezer ~48 hours if full
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Unplug sensitive electronics** to prevent surge damage when power returns
|
||||
|
||||
## Storm-Related Outages

|
||||
