Power Outage
To minimize the effects of a power outage:
YOU SHOULD:
- Unplug or turn off electrical equipment that was in use when the power went off in your immediate area. This includes computers, desk lights, etc. and any other equipment that can adequately be shut down.
- IF you are advised to leave the area, follow your evacuation route and wait at the assembly area for further instructions.
- Leave at least one light switch “on” so you will know when the power is restored.
- DO NOT panic. Remain calm and let your eyes adjust to the darkened condition.
- DO NOT move around. If necessary remain where you are and wait for an announcement of the conditions.
- DO NOT open any refrigerator doors unless it is absolutely necessary. Leaving these doors closed will keep food and other refrigerated items (experimentation) cold as long as possible.
