Power Outage Precautions:
- Turn off all appliances that will turn on automatically when power is restored.
- Plan ahead and consider a source of
back-up power for important building systems, including sump pumps. - Keep a phone that does not require electricity. Cordless phones require electricity or battery backup and may not work in a power outage. Take the opportunity when you do have
power to charge critical electronic devices such as mobile phones. - Know the steps you can take to keep your food safe in an emergency with this information from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
- Use caution when using open flames. Never leave burning candles unattended, and keep them well away from kids and pets.
- Do not use a propane barbeque, camp stove or portable standby generator indoors. They can generate dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. Your carbon monoxide detector may not work in an outage.
- Know safe installation and other precautions to avoid dangers associated with generators. Review the section on portable standby generators below.
- Avoid elevators until the power has been
stabilized . - Power outages mean that a number of traffic signals may not be working and travellers are reminded to treat the affected intersections as though they are four-way stops and yield to traffic on the right.
