Do You Know How To: Turn Off The Electric
So, I'm going to start with the easiest 'to-do' for today....Turning off the Electric. I'm assuming you already know this, but we're going to do a refresher course. See the picture above? That's the electric box in my house. In order to turn off the electric to the whole house, I would flip the switch at the very top (you can't see in the picture, but it says MAIN above it) and I would pull the switch down to the 'off' position. That's it! Easy-breezy! Your house, if you're on a standard city electric system, should run the same way. (If you run your own electric system through wind or solar I hope you know how to operate the system, because I'm not going to even pretend that I would know how to show you!) Now, you might have more of these boxes if your barn or garage have their own systems. Double-check with your spouse/significant other/landlord about any other electric boxes that would need to be turned off in the event of an emergency.
Prep On!

Yeah you want to make sure after a blackout that you do this so that you don't burn up some of the appliances in your home or damage the TV or computer. Good advice.
