Preppers habitually get their gear ready for common SHTF scenarios like power outages. Blackouts can occur at any time due to issues at a power station or natural causes like winds from a storm that’s strong enough to bring down power lines. Whatever the cause is, you must take measures to ensure that your family stays safe during a power outage, especially if you do not have a safe space like a storm shelter or underground bunker.
Before you lose electricity at home, follow these tips to prepare for a power outage in your neighborhood. (h/t to ThePreppingGuide.com)
1. Check your circuit breaker
If the lights suddenly go out, grab a flashlight and check if something tripped your circuit breaker. Sometimes, your home can lose power because you blew a circuit breaker.
Once you confirm that your circuit breaker isn’t the problem, proceed to the next step.
2. Get what you need from your supply box
Store all emergency supplies in a clearly marked box that every family member can easily access even when it’s dark. Doing this makes it easier to get what you need during a blackout.
Keep the following items in the supply box:
Flashlights (one for every family member)
Extra batteries
Emergency radio
Candles
Lighters
Matches
Emergency contact info (e.g., your work phone number/s, the power company’s telephone number, etc.)
