FIELD PLAYBOOK // BLACKOUTKEEP GOING
KEEP GOING
WHEN THE POWER STOPS.
Light. Information. Passive warmth. Controlled energy.
ACTION ORDER
WHAT TO DO BEFORE YOU BUY MORE.
Deal with the basics in order. Safe light and reliable information come before comfort gadgets.
Make the room safe
Turn off risky cooking/heating appliances and leave one easy-to-find light source.
Preserve communications
Use a power bank for the phone; switch off radios and screens when not needed.
Create one warm zone
Close doors and curtains; gather layers, blankets and sleeping bags.
Keep fridge doors shut
Cold storage lasts longer if left closed; follow current food-safety advice.
Use radio for updates
Keep a battery radio and paper frequencies/phone numbers.
Check people, not gadgets
Prioritise children, older adults, medical needs and neighbours who may need support.
