What steps should be taken to prepare for and respond to a partial power outage?

To prepare for a partial power outage, you should have emergency supplies like flashlights, batteries, and non-perishable food on hand. Unplug sensitive electronics to prevent damage from power surges. When a partial power outage occurs, stay calm and conserve energy by turning off non-essential appliances. Contact your utility company to report the outage and follow their instructions.
