Some tips from SaskPower to take into considerating for a power outage:
- Creating a kit that is handy and accessible, even in the dark, will help you stay safe during unplanned outages.
- Water — at least one gallon for each member of your household, per day.
- Food — non-perishable, easy to prepare items. Include a manual can opener (or a multi-purpose tool).
- Flashlights — include extra batteries and make sure the flashlight is functional.
- Candles can be included but must only be used by adults and never by children. Keep candles away from flammable material (such as curtains).
- First-Aid Kit — include essential medications and required medical items. If you have medication that needs to be refrigerated, consult with your pharmacist for guidance on proper storage during an extended outage.
- A battery-powered or hand-crank clock and radio.
- Blankets and warm clothing.
