2. Keep Ready-to-eat Food Handy
Without power you might
not be able to cook food.
Buy ready to eat foods or
invest in foods that require
minimal cooking time so
that you can save energy
and time both. If possible
create a fire pit outside or
buy a stove for cooking if
the power outage lasts for
days.
3. Solar Lanterns
Once the sun sets,
you will need light.
And for that there is
no better source than
a solar lantern. Along
with giving light,
these lanterns can
also be used for
charging cell phones
or other electronic
devices that you will
need during power
outage.
4. Sleeping Bags
If the power outage is in the winter months, you will need something to keep
you warm with the room heater becoming dysfunctional. Instead of using
blankets to keep warm prefer sleeping in sleeping bags. Try to get as many
people in the sleeping bags as more people mean more warmth.
5. Keep Spare Batteries Ready
Sometimes important
announcements are made
via the radio or other
electronic medium which
can be operated with
batteries. Have good
numbers of spare batteries
in stock so that you can use
the devices as and when
required.
6. Flashlights, Torches, Glow Lights
These are really important during a
power outage. Be judicious in using
the flashlights, glow lights and torches
so that the power source is not
exhausted quickly.
7. Water
With no power and electricity, your water purifier will not be
working at all. Once the reserved water is consumed, your stock will
be empty. Buy water and keep them in large containers. Ensure that
water is not wasted in any way as it will be high in demands during
the power shortage.
8. Generator
One of the most convenient power solutions during a power outage is a generator. If possible
look for generator hire even for a short period of time so that you can manage some power
problems temporarily.
9. Use The Freezer For
Storing Some Foods
Normal refrigeration might stop
working after some time once the
power goes out. But the freezer
remains functional for a longer time.
In case you want to preserve certain
items for long, put them in the freezer.
10. Indulge In Interesting
Games And Music
Try and play games for which you do not need much
power. Get the whole family at one place and play
memory games or enjoy music which is loved by all.
The power outage might give you quality family time,
which you miss otherwise!
11. Patience
This is probably the most
important thing that you need in
a power outage. Patiently wait
for the crisis to get over and also
help others in the same.
