Power May Return Without Warning — Stay Cautious

It’s important to remember that the electricity supply might come back on earlier than expected.

This means being extra careful around electrical equipment and installations.

To protect your devices from any sudden power surges when electricity returns, it’s a good idea to switch off appliances during the outage.
