Have the national 105 emergency helpline on hand – keep this on your fridge or saved in the contacts on your mobile phone. Report any power cuts immediately.

Store a battery or wind-up torch – leave this somewhere you can access easily.

Keep your mobile charged.

Keep the heat in – if your power does go out, your heating might not work so keep extra blankets nearby and close window shutters, blinds or curtains to help keep the heat in
