Power Cut Essentials

Power cuts in the UK are usually short and local, but longer outages do happen. Official Prepare guidance recommends keeping a torch and spare batteries (torches are safer than candles), a battery or wind-up FM radio, a charged power bank, warm clothing and blankets, and at least three days of bottled drinking water and food that does not need cooking.
