Power Outage Plan

Q: How do I know the Power Outage Plan output is good?

Plan for an extended power outage — keeping medically-essential devices running, food safe, the home warm or cool enough, and communication alive — before the lights go out, with the special focus on power-dependent medical needs. Use when someone says 'prepare for a power outage', 'what if the power goes out for days', 'blackout plan', or 'I rely on a medical device that needs electricity'. Produces an outage plan tiered by duration, a medical-power priority plan, food/heat/cool/comms guidance, and safety warnings. Not medical advice; medical-device continuity routes to clinicians/utilities.

What to give it

▸Anyone in the home dependent on power for — a medical device or refrigerated medication — this reshapes the whole plan

▸The likely outage causes and durations for the area — storms, grid strain, wildfire shutoffs — pair with [[hazard-risk-map]]

▸The home — heating/cooling type (does it need electricity?), cooking, water (well pumps fail without power), and vulnerable household members

▸Existing backup — (generator, battery, none) and budget/space for more

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Medical-power dependency is handled first and routed to clinician + utility, with a

✓relocate threshold

✓The plan is tiered by outage duration with escalating actions and risks

✓The carbon-monoxide and improvised-heat warnings are prominent and unambiguous

✓Food-safety thresholds and vulnerable-person heat/cold protection are covered

✓A clear abandon threshold and destination are set in advance

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not bury or soften the CO warning — indoor generators/grills/stoves kill every

outage; this is the highest-stakes line in the skill

Do not give medical advice or size medical backup power without the device specs and

clinician — route it

Do not treat all outages as equal — duration changes everything
