What to do now

In a severe space weather alert, save electricity to help prevent forced power cuts.
Keep phone calls for emergencies only, and avoid lifts in case power fails.
Follow official emergency alerts and instructions carefully.
Treat unexpected messages about the outage with suspicion, even if they look official.
Watch for scam signs: urgency, threats, claims of authority, or offers that play on fear.
Do not click links, scan QR codes or download fixes from unsolicited messages.
Check any request by contacting the organisation through its official website, not the message.
Remember banks never ask you to confirm account details by email or phone.
