If your power goes out, there are a few things you should do to stay safe and comfortable.

Check to see if your neighbors' power is also out. If it is, the outage is likely due to a problem with the power grid.
Unplug electronics and appliances to prevent damage from power surges when power is restored.
Turn off all lights except for one in each room. This will help you keep track of time and avoid tripping in the dark.
Listen to a battery-powered radio for updates on the situation.
If you have a generator, follow the manufacturer's instructions for safe operation.
Never use a generator indoors, as this can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
If you have medical equipment that requires electricity, make sure you have a backup plan in place, such as a battery-powered generator or inverter.
Check on elderly or disabled neighbors to make sure they are safe and have what they need.
