A calm plan for the next power cut

• Charge your Ironhold radio and put it somewhere you can find in the dark.
• Save 105 in your phone. It is the free number to report or check a power cut anywhere in Great Britain.
• If someone in your home is older, unwell or relies on medical equipment, ask your network operator about the Priority Services Register.
• Note your local FM station frequencies on a card and keep it with the radio.

• Use the torch or reading lamp, not candles, where you can.
• Tune to your local station for updates. FM radio does not need the internet.
• Keep your phone for calls and texts. Top it up from the radio's battery if it runs low.
• Leave one light switched on so you know when the power is back.

• Check it is where you left it.
• Charge it back to full.
• Test the radio, torch and lamp for ten seconds each.
