Power Cut Preparation Tips

• Report a power cut 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by dialling 800 6783 105 or 105. If you’re hard of hearing or deaf, dial 18001 before each number and a Text Relay Operator will join the call

• Check in with people who might need extra support. Help them sign up to the free Priority Services Register. Make sure they know what to do if there’s a power cut

• Before the onset of severe weather it is important to charge phones, power banks, and any medical equipment. Have backup power sources, like a battery-powered torch and a windup radio.
