If your power is out, here are some tips:

• Use flashlights for emergency lighting
• Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed.
• Put on layers of warm clothing if it is cold outside.
• Never burn charcoal for heating or cooking indoors. Never use your oven as a source of heat.
• If the power may be out for a prolonged period, plan to go to another location (the home of a relative or friend, or a public facility) that has heat to keep warm.
