Safety tips for prolonged power outages

When the outage lasts longer than expected

Short outages are mainly inconvenient. During prolonged outages, safety becomes a priority: food, heating and communication.

Practical safety tips

• Only use candles on a stable surface and preferably in lanterns.
• Ventilate well if you cook or heat with gas, paraffin or open flames.
• Keep fridge and freezer doors closed as much as possible to retain cold.
