Tips to Mitigate Risks During Load Shedding:
Surge Protection:
Install surge protection devices to minimize damage to electronic equipment during power outages.
Consider fitting a surge protection device at your electrical distribution board or power outlet.
Alarm System Check:
Ensure your alarm system is operational, and the backup battery is fully functional to provide power during load shedding periods.
Lighting Essentials:
Keep a torch or headlamp in your car for nighttime arrivals during power outages.
Utilize built-in torch apps on smartphones for emergency lighting.
Emergency Contacts:
Save emergency contact information on your phone and maintain a paper copy with contacts for fire departments, police, medical services, friends, family, and insurance.
Device Charging:
Charge cell phones, laptops, and tablets before scheduled blackouts.
Have an emergency phone charger, like a power bank, readily available for extended outages.
Gas for Cooking and Lighting:
Acquire a small LP gas bottle and lamp for quality lighting and cooking during power cuts.
Keep hot water in a thermal flask for hot drinks and consider preparing meals in advance for scheduled blackouts.
