Most medication that need refrigeration can be kept in a closed fridge for several hours without spoiling – it is essential that you check with your doctor or pharmacist to be sure about your type of medication.

Switch your electric security gates to ‘’manual’’ to avoid being either locked out of or in your home.
Keep a battery-powered torch in a place where it will be easy to find in the dark. Make sure you have an extra set of new batteries.
Invest in a small LP gas heating ring for essential cooking and to boil water for hot drinks – make sure you have an extra bottle of gas.
Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed at all times – a power outage of four hours should not cause food spoilage and a freezer should keep food frozen and safe for at least a day.

If you or someone else aren’t hurt during your attempt, there’s still a chance that you’ve left something undone that poses a huge risk to you, your home, or your family. In fact, faulty electrical wiring is the number one cause of house fires in the South Africa, according to the National Fire Protection Agency.
