Deal with a power cut
-
Check if it is just you.
Look at the breaker panel and the street. Neighbours dark means the grid; your panel alone means your circuits.
-
Keep the fridge and freezer shut.
A closed fridge holds four hours, a full freezer two days. Every opening costs an hour.
-
Unplug the sensitive electronics.
The surge when power returns kills more equipment than the cut itself. Leave one lamp on as the signal.
-
Report it and check the vulnerable.
The outage line or app, then elderly neighbours, medical equipment, anyone on the stairs.
-
Light with torches, not candles.
Phone torch and battery lamps. Candles plus disruption is how outage nights become fire nights.

#1 becomes the Core. This atoma is young: submit a better distillation and take the seat.
No gear needed. Your pot, a timer and ice are enough. That is the point.
