Emergency Lighting
When the lights go out, the safest way to provide emergency lighting is with flashlights or battery-powered lanterns. If you must use candles during a power outage, make sure that you use them safely. Keep flashlights with fresh batteries in several places throughout your home and check them for proper operation regularly. Always keep a supply of extra fresh batteries. Consider purchasing a rechargeable flashlight that will always stay charged until ready for use.
