TIPS & RESOURCES
TIPS TO PREPARE
- Identify the equipment and systems critical to continuous operation and have reliable backup power supplies (such as a generator)
- Back up files and operating systems regularly
- Learn and know the ratings of fuses critical to your machinery and keep them in supply
- Mark your meter room and electrical service entrances
- Keep heating fuel on hand since regular sources may be cut off, especially if the outage is widespread or long-term
TIPS TO RECOVER
- Check the fuse boxes or circuit breakers to determine if a fuse has blown or a breaker has tripped
- Report the power outage to your local electrical company immediately
- Avoid back-feed by using an appropriately sized portable generator
- Monitor battery-operated radio or television for emergency updates
- Turn off heat pumps, large equipment and lights to decrease power demand when electricity is restored
- Be cautious around all electrical wires and machinery
- Leave the power-lines to the professionals - don't try to move debris around them as they are great conductors of electricity
