Average Duration of Power Outages

On average, most technical or minor outages in the USA last about 1-2 hours. However, those caused by major natural disasters can extend for days or even weeks.

Keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible to maintain the cold temperature. The refrigerator will keep food cold for about 4 hours if it is unopened. A full freezer will keep the temperature for approximately 48 hours (24 hours if it is half full) if the door remains closed.

This will happen if the circuit breaker is overloaded by being connected to too many electronics and appliances or if one of these connected electronics has an issue. When this happens, it will cut the electricity to everything connected to the circuit breaker.

A power outage may: Disrupt communications, water and transportation. Close retail businesses, grocery stores, gas stations, ATMs, banks and other services. Cause food spoilage and water contamination.

Can you shower when the power is out? ›

Can I Shower When the Power Is Out? To shower when the power is out, your home needs a traditional tank-style water heater. If that water heater still has hot water in reserve, then you can take a warm shower. If you plan to take a shower, you need to do it soon after the power goes out.

Act (During an Outage)

Call your utility provider to notify them of the outage. If you go outside, avoid all downed power lines and report them to your utility provider for repair. Assume all downed power lines have live electricity. Check to see if your neighbors have power.

Use a receptacle voltage tester by plugging the device into the outlet. The lights on the device will come on to indicate the presence of a live electrical current. Test an electrical outlet with a non-contact voltage tester by holding the tester about an inch away from the short slot on the outlet.

Verify that the power is off by placing the voltmeter on the two output points at the bottom of the circuit breaker. The voltmeter will show that there is no voltage if the light does not light up. This operation will make it possible to confirm that the voltmeter did not malfunction during the prior step.

There are no rotating outages at this time.
