Specialists of the DiXi Group analytical center have prepared advice for Ukrainians in case of force majeure power outages, water, gas and heat supply.
They advised each family to prepare everything necessary now, because for now, cities or villages where there will be no blackouts are guaranteed, reports Dixi Group.
The material noted that the Russian occupiers from impotence will continue to try to destroy the Ukrainian infrastructure.
What can be done now:
- keep phones, power banks, batteries charged;

- purchase a tourist gas stove or a cylinder with a burner;
- purchase a few flashlights and a battery-powered radio;

Analysts also advised to get used to the temperature in the apartment at 18 degrees and not to warm the air up to 22-24 degrees with electric heaters. And to warm up quickly, you can use bottles of warm water.
What to do in the event of a power outage:
- turn off all electrical devices;
- if the house has an elevator, make sure that no one is stuck in it;
