What should I do when the power goes out?
Check whether your neighbours are affected and whether your own fuse box (consumer unit) has tripped, then call 105. Keep fridge and freezer doors closed – food stays cold for about 4 hours in an unopened fridge, and a full freezer keeps for about 48 hours (24 hours if half full). Use a torch, not candles. Unplug sensitive electronics. Never use a generator, barbecue or camping stove indoors or in a garage because of carbon monoxide. If someone relies on medical equipment or it is dangerously cold, call 111 or 999 in an emergency.
What should I do if I see a fallen power line?
Keep well back (at least 10 metres is a common guide), treat every line as live and never touch it or anything in contact with it. Call 105 to report it, or 999 if there is danger to life or a fire. Warn others to stay away.
