COMMUNICATION: To enable communication with friends and family during load-shedding ensure that your cell phone, laptop, tablet and radio are always fully charged when power is available

TRANSPORT: Make sure that your vehicle always has fuel in the tank as some petrol stations are unable to pump fuel during power outages.

CASH: Keep some cash on you as some ATMs cannot operate without electricity.
