What to do during a power outage in Nova Scotia
Whether you live in an urban centre or rural Nova Scotia, the actions you take in the first 30 minutes are the same. Identify if the outage is yours alone, protect what is at risk, and report what you know.
1. Check neighbours and breakers
If streetlights are on and neighbours have power, check your main breaker. If the whole block is dark, it is a grid event.
2. Call your distributor
Use the verified phone numbers above. Have your account number or service address ready. Report on this page’s map too.
3. Protect food and electronics
Unplug sensitive electronics. Keep fridge and freezer doors closed — food stays safe ~4 hours in a fridge, ~48 hours in a full freezer.
4. Stay warm safely
In winter, layer clothing and use blankets. Never use a gas stove or BBQ indoors. Generators must run outside, 6 m from doors and vents.
