You can’t do much to control power outages, but you can control what happens when the power comes back on. Unplug your computers and television sets, even if you have surge suppressors. The suppressors should take care of any initial charge from your electrical system, but unplugging these appliances guarantees that you won’t have any problems. Make sure any kitchen appliances that might have been left on, other than your refrigerator, are shut off. Any heat-producing appliance, such as an electric blanket, a heating pad, or a portable heater, also should be shut off, lest you forget about it and it stays on while you’re not home.
