Lights Out? Remember the Power of Preparedness

Where were you when the lights went out? The Northeast blackout -- which occurred 10 years ago this week -- reminds us that while prolonged power disruptions occur infrequently, it's always a good idea to be prepared. If you experience a power outage, check to see if a fuse is blown or a circuit breaker has been tripped, call your power provider immediately to report the outage, and disconnect or turn off all appliances that will go on automatically when service is restored.
