Utilities failure

During a power cut:

• Turn off all appliances.
• Check on your neighbours.
• Report the power cut. If you’re unsure who your provider is, call 105.
• Information about power cuts, including a live power cut map, is available on Northern PowerGrid’s website.

To prepare for power cuts:

• Keep a torch handy.
• Get a battery-powered or wind-up radio so you can keep up with local media.
• Keep a blanket and warm clothing handy.
• Stock your cupboards with food that doesn’t require electricity to prepare.
• Keep mobile devices fully charged.
• Check network operators’ websites and social media channels for updates.
