SERVPRO^® of Fargo responds to storm damage emergencies throughout the year in the Fargo area and we like to provide our readers with helpful information to keep you safe when faced with a storm emergency. On The City of Fargo website there is helpful information on what to do during a blackout:

During a Blackout

• Only use a flashlight for emergency lighting-never use candles because they increase your risk of a house fire dramatically.
• Most cordless phones won't work if the power goes out, so be sure to have a standard telephone in your home. Cellular phones may not operate properly during a blackout because cellular networks may lose power to the towers that transmit your call.
• Turn off electrical equipment you were using when the power went out. Leave one light on so you'll know when power returns.
• Avoid opening the refrigerator and freezer. Most medication that requires refrigeration can be kept in a closed refrigerator for several hours.
• Don't run a generator inside a home or garage or connect it to a home’s electrical system. If you use a generator, connect the equipment you want to power directly to outlets on the generator.
• Listen to a radio for the latest information.
