SERVPRO of Tracy has some tips for your safety during a power outage, it’s important to have a plan of action.

1. Make sure your employees can locate the meter and electric service room.
2. Make sure there are emergency lights in the meter room.
3. Have flashlights available.
4. Turn everything off.
5. Use your cell phone to find out if the outage is limited to your building or if other locations in your area are affected.
6. When electricity is restored, only turn on essential equipment. Then slowly start turning stuff back on after 20-30 mins.

SERVPRO of Tracy says to consider investing in backup generators. This can give your commercial property temporary power until the electric company gets it back up and running.
