Light sticks are strategically placed around the house to give immediate safe illumination, then we can put the stored candles and candle lanterns into use and put batteries in the stored flashlights if needed.

CH wont work if power is off cos its electrically ignited, so light woodburner, put kettle on

Turn on radio to see if any reports

Fill a few water containers as a precaution

Check fuses to make sure its not just my house

Check house phone to see if dialing tone, no dialing tone can signify a larger event over a much bigger area

Check to see if cell system is working.
