Tips During Power Cuts:

As per National Grid website, following are best tips to use during power outages:

1. Make sure you keep some torches and spare batteries to hand in case the power cut happens when it's dark outside (you probably won't want to use the torch on your mobile phone as this will drain its batteries more quickly). Make sure everyone in your home knows where these are kept, so the nearest person can retrieve them and then safely help others.

2. It's a good idea to make sure that you keep your mobile charged and ensure that some data is available in case Wi-Fi is down. You might also want to have a fully-charged power bank available, in case you need to charge your phone, tablet or other devices.

3. Keep your fridge and freezer doors closed to protect the contents. According to the Food Standards Agency (FSA), your fridge will keep food safe for up to four hours during a power outage, provided you keep the door closed as much as possible. The FSA says a full freezer will hold a safe temperature for approximately 48 hours (24 hours if it's half full) if the door remains closed.

4. In a power cut you may not be able to use your kitchen appliances, so you might want to make sure there's something available to eat that doesn't require electricity or heat preparation.

5. It's a good idea to switch off all electrical appliances that are not designed to run unattended - such as cookers, grills, chip pans, hair straighteners and electric fires - so that they don't come on without you realising once the power is back. It's also a good idea to unplug your TV and PC, to avoid damage to them in case of a surge when power returns.

6. If you work from home, it's a good idea to make sure you regularly save your work to make sure you don't lose anything. If your computer has an auto-save function, make sure you enable this.

7. Many service stations can't pump fuel during a power failure, so it's a good idea to keep your vehicles fuel tank at least half full and to fill up if you know a power cut is coming.

8. Power cuts will affect equipment such as stair lifts, bath hoists and adjustable beds. Make sure that any essential medical equipment has a battery back-up. This means you can keep using it, even if the power is out. If you have a stair lift, check it has a manual release handle, you can use this to return the lift to the ground floor if you have a power cut.
