A cold living room at night during a winter power cut, blankets piled on the sofa
Government Be Ready campaign

Three days
without power

The government's Be Ready campaign asks every home to be ready for 3 days. Cuts can last longer: a week after Storm Arwen in 2021, nearly 4,000 homes still had no power, and no heating either, because even a gas boiler needs electricity.
