Make sure to have a surge protection device connected either at your electrical distribution board or directly to the power outlet of your electronic devices.

Ensure that your alarm system is working and the backup battery is fully functional to provide power to the system in the event of load shedding.

Spare torch or headlamp: Keep a torch in your car if you arrive home at night during a power outage. Most smartphones have built-in torch or torch apps, which come in handy during unexpected power outages.

Emergency contact information: Save emergency contact information on your phone, but also keep a paper copy safe and accessible.

This should include contacts for emergency services such as the fire department, police, and/or medical services.
