Use flashlights for emergency lighting instead of candles. Unplug electrical equipment until a steady power supply returns. Practice proper generator and surface heater safety. Leave one light turned on so you know when power is restored. Eliminate unnecessary travel, especially by car. Traffic signals will stop working during an outage, creating traffic congestion. If you come upon a non-working traffic signal, treat each traffic light as a four-way stop, with the driver on the right having the right-of-way. Proceed with caution only when traffic permits and enter intersections only when it is safe to do so, using your turn signals to let other motorists know your intentions. If traffic signals are on flash, treat a flashing red as a stop (treat like a stop sign). For flashing yellow, proceed with caution. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
