Updates Regarding a Possible Power Outage (ט"ז שבט)


 

Nissan Levron *


We Jews are the beloved children of Hashem, who promised us explicitly in the Torah, that if we follow His ways He will protect us from any harm. In particular, Jews who live in Eretz Yisrael, over which there is special Hashgacha from the One above. Therefore, the following is said only because of our obligation of hishtadlut.

As we know, with the continuation of the war, a long power outage is expected for several days. The water supply may also be affected.

It is important to prepare for this situation, especially families with babies, the elderly and the sick who depend on electricity supply.

Here is the official Israeli government statement on this: https://www.oref.org.il/13215-en/Pakar.aspx  

To their basic information I have added common sense advice.

 

Without electricity, the following devices will not work:

• Electric lighting

• Electric stove, hot plate, electric kettle

• Refrigerator and freezer

• Heating, air conditioning

• Electric boiler for hot water, Yonkers

• Washing machine

• Mobile phone and computer

• Elevators

• It is not certain that there will be water in the faucets, because pumps will not work

• In the bathroom, there may not be water to flush the toilet

 

Prepare:

1. A stock of food that does not require refrigeration

2. Minimum food that needs refrigeration

3. Plan how to use the food in the freezer that has been thawed

4. plenty of water

5. Warm clothing and blankets, to protect against cold, especially for babies and children

6. a paper with a list of emergency phone numbers and addresses

7. Emergency lighting and flashlights

8. For formula-fed babies: prepare means to boil water without electricity

9. Those using hot plates: prepare another way to cook food, such as gas or a barbecue with coals
