If your power goes off

Check the list above, then call 105 if your postcode isn't on it.
Keep the fridge and freezer shut. What's safe to eat after a power cut.
Switch off sensitive electronics and anything that could be left on, and leave one light switched on so you know when power's back. Can a power cut damage appliances?
If the cut runs long, the network may owe you compensation. Work out what you're owed.

Get warned before the next big one
