A “power outage” which electricity suddenly becomes unavailable. Although we are wary of a large typhoon approaching or a heavy thunderstorm nearby, we are in a hurry when a power outage actually occurs. Power outages, especially at night, increase anxiety in the dark and can lead to unexpected secondary disasters.
This time, let’s study together about the correct countermeasures so that we can act calmly even in the unlikely event of a power outage.
Unplug the electrical plug of the appliance from the outlet
To prevent accidents such as fires after the power is restored, unplug the electrical plugs of the electrical appliances. You should pay attention to electric heating appliances in particular, such as irons and heaters.
Also, be sure to unplug the power plug of your computer as it may break down due to excessive voltage or current applied when recovering from a power failure.
Refrigerators are not opened and closed as much as possible
If it takes time to recover from a power outage, refrain from opening and closing the door to prevent the temperature inside the refrigerator from rising.
Keep the flashlight in a place where you can find easily
Place the flashlight in an easily accessible place so that it can be taken out immediately.
Also, if you put a port-building tape on the flashlight, it will be easier to find even when the lights are off and it is dark.
Storing food that can be eaten without water or heating
During black out, you cannot cook with electricity or fire. Make sure you have emergency food that does not require water or heating.
Mobile battery
Smartphones are indispensable for collecting information in the event of a power outage. Have your mobile battery ready for recharging at any time.
Introduce solar power generation equipment and storage batteries
Introduction of solar power generation equipment and storage batteries is one of the effective methods.
