Power outages very often lead to many other problems: there is no water, the stove does not work, you cannot iron clothes, cold batteries.

We have collected for you the most useful and simplest life hacks that will help you in this difficult time.

If water does not flow from the faucet

It is impossible to say for sure whether the water supply will continue if the lights are turned off, but you can and should stock up on technical water to wash your hands in advance.

And to make it convenient to wash your hands and wash yourself, you can use a tap for a drinking water bottle, which works on a battery.

How to cook food if you have an electric stove

It is especially difficult for owners of electric stoves to cook or heat food during a power outage.

Someone recommends heating food over candles, someone does it on a battery, if, of course, it is warm enough.

Happy owners of fireplaces and ovens cook and heat food on them.

But there is a way out.

Try to make a hearth yourself - lay several layers of foil on the bottom of a pot or a deep frying pan.

Put coals on the foil and set it on fire.

You can cook anything on such an improvised bonfire.

How to keep warm in an apartment without heating

If you have cold batteries and the temperature in the apartment has already dropped below 10 degrees, there is a way out - get a tent and set it up in the room.

Any, for example, a children's one, which you bought for a child for a playroom, will do.
