Emergency Cheat Sheet — Power Grid Collapse

ICE Emergency Contacts

Universal 0–6 hour survival rules (grid failure)

1. Stay calm, stay put — most emergencies are safer at home unless told to leave.
2. Fill containers with water immediately while pressure lasts.
3. Switch to a battery or wind-up radio for official updates.
4. Unplug appliances; use torches, not candles.
5. Keep the fridge and freezer closed.
6. Gather cash, ID, meds and documents into one grab-bag.
7. Head to your agreed family rally point if separated.
8. Never run generators, BBQs or gas heaters indoors.

Power Grid Collapse: what NEVER to do

• ✗ Never run a generator, BBQ or gas heater indoors — carbon monoxide kills silently.
• ✗ Don't open the freezer 'just to check'.
• ✗ Don't drain your car battery charging phones.
• ✗ Don't use candles unattended or near curtains.
