2. CHARGE Charge cell phones and any battery powered devices. Also keep alternative charging methods at all times.
3. LEARN Learn about the emergency plans by following dwp.web for additional information postage.

5. BUY Purchase ice or freeze water-filled plastic containers to help keep food cold during a temporary power outage. 14 DURING A POWER OUTAGE
1. NO FLAMES Open flames are dangerous during a power outage. Only use flashlights for emergency lighting; candles can cause fires.
2. FOOD Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed. Most food requiring refrigeration can be kept safely in a closed refrigerator for several hours. An unopened refrigerator will keep food cold for about 4 hours.
3. POWER OFF Turn off or disconnect appliances and other equipment in case of a momentary power “surge” that can damage computers and other devices. Consider adding surge protectors.
4. PURCHASE If you are considering purchasing a generator for your home, consult an electrician or engineer before purchasing and installing. Make sure it remains outside of the house.
5. DRESS Dress to prepare for the weather, if it’s cold outside layer clothing to stay warm and never use the oven as a source of heat. During a heatwave find places where it is cool, and avoid layering clothes.
