Day 16 of the Advent(ure) Calendar: Outage Protocol Night.

Every family has lived through an outage that lasted longer than expected. The lights click off, the house goes quiet, and uncertainty does the real damage. What separates stress from calm is a simple protocol for the first few minutes.

It doesn’t have to be complicated.

Check power.
Check phones.
Check radios.
Check neighbors if needed.
Then settle in.

A little order at the start keeps the night manageable.

Today’s action:
Write a 10-minute outage protocol for your home. Review it with your family and post it somewhere visible.
