When Power Is Unreliable

When the power goes out, does this put you in a tough spot? Some who have started working from home might have a hard time making their living without power, but if the power outage goes on for a long period of time, it might even pose a bigger problem. If you are expecting the power outage to last for a long time, for example, if you are in the middle of a violent storm, you should start planning for what might be an issue later on. For example, you should avoid opening your fridge and freezer unnecessarily since they can keep your food cool for a long period of time, but that is shortened every time the door opens.
If you get your water from a well, the pump won’t run unless you have a backup generator, so it might be a good idea to set some drinking water aside for later. You also shouldn’t flush your toilet unnecessarily.
