The best preparation is practice. Tonight you turn off the lights and live as if the power has completely failed.
Why this is important
You only learn what you’re missing when you have to do it. This way you’ll discover whether your torches work, where you keep your candles, and how much you’re actually dependent on sockets.

How to do it
Plan it in advance. Turn off the fuse or simply turn off all the lights. Use only what you have prepared. Afterwards, write down what could be better: more batteries, an extra power bank, perhaps an extra lamp on the stairs.
