Check your meter:
Check with your neighbors to see if their power is off.
Unplug sensitive electronic equipment such as televisions and computers.
Unplug refrigerators, freezers and other major appliances.
- Refrigerators will keep food cold for about four hours if unopened.
- A full freezer will keep it's temperature for about 48 hours, or 24 hours if it is only half full if the door remains closed.
Leave a light on so that you know when the power is restored.

NEVER GO NEAR A DOWNED POWER LINE

The line may still be energized and is very dangerous.
Don't touch anything that may be touching a downed wire, such as a car.
