- Call your power provider. - Stay indoors if possible. Never touch or go near power lines, even if you think they are safe. - Keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed. An unopened refrigerator will keep foods cold enough for several hours, at least. A half-full freezer will hold for 24 hours, and a full freezer for 48 hours. - Keep one, regular old-fashioned telephone with a cord available. This is a phone that does not require an electrical outlet. |
