What should I do in the first hour of a power outage?
In the first hour, the quick reference in The 72-Hour Power Outage Plan says to note the time and use flashlights, not candles. Check the breaker if the neighbors still have lights. Report the outage to your utility. Keep the fridge and freezer closed. Unplug electronics, leave one lamp on, and check medical needs and neighbors.
