What to do while you wait

Save phone battery

Drop screen brightness, enable low-power mode, and close background apps. Aim for one full charge to last 12+ hours.

Protect appliances

Unplug TVs, fridges and ACs to avoid surge damage when power returns. Leave one bulb on so you'll know when it's back.

Keep the fridge cold

Avoid opening it. A full freezer stays cold ~48h closed, a fridge ~4h. Fill empty space with frozen water bottles.
