Universal 0–6 hour rules for grid failures

  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.
