russia daily terrorizes the civilian population of Ukraine and inflicts targeted strikes on energy facilities in different regions of our country, de-energizing entire cities and villages. Repair crews tirelessly restore the energy infrastructure damaged by the enemy. But we must be ready for all the next attempts by the enemy to attack the power grid, as well as save electricity consumption as much as possible in order to allow the country to quickly repair the damage.


What to prepare in case of a power outage


The minimum set should consist of the following things:

• flashlights on batteries or night lamps;

• batteries of different types;

• charged power banks;

• candles and matches;

• thermos;

• generator (only for a private house).


Also don't forget about warm clothes and thermal underwear, a supply of medicines, a stocked first aid kit and personal important drugs for at least a week, as well as baby diapers, wet wipes, baby food, etc.


IMPORTANT! Do not use gas stoves for heating, as there is a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Also, unplug all electrical appliances from the outlets to avoid damaging them due to power surges.
