What should I do in case of a power outage?

Asked 6 months ago
In case of a power outage, first check if the issue is affecting your entire area or just your home. If it's just your home, make sure your circuit breaker hasn't tripped. If the outage is widespread, report it to your local electricity distributor. Avoid opening your fridge or freezer unnecessarily to keep food fresh for longer. Use a torch for lighting instead of candles to reduce fire risks. Unplug sensitive electronic devices to avoid damage from power surges when the electricity is restored. Stay updated on the situation through the Origin Energy website or social media channels for any updates on power restoration efforts.
