Here are some things you can do to stay safe and informed.  \n5 ways to prepare for an outage  \n1. Keep flashlights and extra batteries handy, and be sure everyone knows where to find them.  \n2. Make sure your phone is fully charged and have a portable charger accessible if possible. If you don’t have a cell phone or it dies, use your car radio or a portable radio to get updates on when the power will be back on.  \n3. Sign up for outage alerts to know if there is an outage in your area and check out our outage map to know where to look in the event of an outage.  \n4. Keep a supply of water, nonperishable foods and a manual can opener together in a designated area.  \n5. Keep important phone numbers such as medical providers, family, friends and APS readily available.  \nWhat to do in case of a power outage  \nSafety for yourself and those around you comes first. Please report the outage immediately to us online at[aps.com/outagecenter](aps.com/outagecenter or on)[ or on](aps.com/outagecenter or on) the APS app.  \n• Turn off the air conditioner, stove, clothes dryer, pool pump and water heater. Unplug computers, gaming systems and TVs.  \n• Leave a light on so you know when power is restored.  \n• Wait 5–10 minutes after the power is restored before turning the appliances back on. This will prevent overloading the system and may avoid another outage.  \nHow to stay safe during an outage  \n• Use flashlights. If you must use candles, keep them away from curtains and other flammable materials. Never leave candles unattended.  \n• If the outage occurs during hot summer or cold winter months, stay with family, friends or in a public place.  \n• Do not try to repair electrical problems yourself. Please call us or a certified electrician.  \n• Do not open refrigerators or freezers more than necessary. Food stays preserved longer when the door is kept closed.  \n• Learn to recognize tripped breakers or blown fuses.  \nCall APS at (602) 371-3680 or (855) 688-2437 to report an outage.  \nBe ready with our free mobile app. Use it to get alerts, report an outage, view our outage map and get updates.  \nTo learn more, visit [aps.com/outagecenter](aps.com/outagecenter).  \n Your personal outage preparation guide  \nTo help you and your family stay safe, fill out this guide and keep it handy.  \nContact this person (family or friend) in case of a power outage:  \nName Phone  \nMedications I take (or someone I live with takes) that are sensitive to temperature in case of a power outage:  \n__________________________________________________________________________________________________________  \nMy plan to store temperature-sensitive medications during a power outage:  \nMy back-up plan for medical equipment that requires electricity in case of a power outage:  \nIf I need a temporary living arrangement, I will stay with:  \nName Address Phone  \nEMERGENCY CONTACTS  \n1.      \nName Phone  \n2.      \nName Phone  \n3.      \nName Phone","cbCainYnNqwhY5n3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainYnNqwhY5n3","pdf",245019,"English","# 5 ways to prepare for an outage\n# What to do in case of a power outage\n# How to stay safe during an outage\n# Your personal outage preparation guide\n## Contact this person in case of a power outage\n## Medications and temperature-sensitive supplies\n## Backup plan for medical equipment\n## Temporary living arrangement\n## Emergency contacts","[{\"question\":\"What should I do before a power outage happens?\",\"answer\":\"Keep flashlights and extra batteries accessible, fully charge your phone and keep a portable charger if possible, sign up for outage alerts, store water and nonperishable foods with a manual can opener, and keep important phone numbers readily available.\"},{\"question\":\"What actions should I take immediately when the power comes back on?\",\"answer\":\"Turn off or unplug major appliances and electronics before power restoration, leave a light on to know when power returns, and wait 5–10 minutes after power is restored before turning appliances back on to prevent system overload.\"},{\"question\":\"How can I stay safe during an outage?\",\"answer\":\"Use flashlights, keep candles away from flammable materials and never leave them unattended, avoid DIY electrical repairs and call a certified electrician or the utility, minimize opening refrigerators/freezers, and learn to recognize tripped breakers or blown fuses.\"}]","Guide to Preparing for an Outage - Power Outage Personal Preparation Guide | PDF",1790542130]
