1-866-717-3113What to do during an outage in Medicine Hat
Check neighbours first
If streetlights are on and neighbours have power, check your main breaker. If the whole block is dark, it is a grid event.
Protect food & electronics
Unplug sensitive electronics. Keep fridge and freezer doors closed — food stays safe ~4 hours in a fridge, ~48 hours in a full freezer.
Stay warm safely
Layer clothing, use blankets. In winter, let cold-water taps drip slightly so pipes don’t freeze. Never use gas stove or BBQ indoors for heat.
Generators outside only
Portable generators must run outside, at least 6 m (20 ft) from any door, window or vent. Carbon monoxide kills within minutes indoors.
