SA Power Networks – Don’t wait for Summer

Be prepared before the heat hits. Power outages can happen anytime, especially during extreme weather. Take steps now to protect your wellbeing and stay connected.

🔌 What do you rely on every day? Think about the essentials—lighting, refrigeration, communication, and medical equipment. If you live in a regional or remote area, consider what extra supplies or backup systems you might need.

📱 How will you stay informed and connected? Plan how you’ll communicate with family, neighbours, and emergency services during an outage. Make sure you can access updates from SA Power Networks even if your usual devices are offline.

❤️ Do you depend on medical equipment? If so, speak with your healthcare provider about backup options and emergency plans to ensure your health and safety during a power disruption.

🏠 How will you stay safe and comfortable? Prepare your home with items like battery-powered lights, fans, water, and non-perishable food. Know where to go if conditions become unsafe.
