Power outages are inconvenient and disruptive, but there are inexpensive preparations you can make so that the next time the lights go out is less of an ordeal.

It's advisable to always have candles, matches, and a lighter in a place in your home where you can find them. An LED flashlight with spare batteries should also always be easily accessible.
