San Francisco experienced a major power outage this weekend, with an estimated 130,000 customers affected at the peak—around 30% of the city. The outage has been linked to a fire at a substation near 8th & Mission, which caused significant damage and complicated repairs. Beyond the loss of power, the city felt it through dark traffic signals, disrupted transit, and businesses slowing down or closing temporarily. As of the latest update, about 110,000 customers have been restored, while roughly 21,000 are still without electricity as crews work to fully stabilize service.

Keep the Heat in Check During a Power Outage or Emergency:

Winter and a survival or emergency situation can be particular challenges for staying warm, cooking and resolving freeze-up situations. Having a wood stove and propane heater will help and knowing a few survival heating methods is a good skill to have. Keeping the heat in check at home, blackouts, frozen water pipes, cooking and keeping warm are just some of the problems to deal with. These suggestions may make the cold and power outages a bit more tolerable. Stop heating the whole house. Shrink and seal your living space. While some electronic (battery) options are listed below, consider the possibility that an EMP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse) could render them useless. Non-electronics may be better all-around preparation choices. Important things to consider before cooking:

Practice with your method(s) of choice until you can reliably produce a meal. Don’t use it for the first time in an emergency.

Use cooking options indoors or outdoors as appropriate. Don't get asphyxiated from cooking fuel fumes or burn your house down while trying to make a hot meal.

Have cooking equipment suitable for your heating option of choice.

Winter Survival Methods To Keep You Warm

Block drafts and utilize thermal mass by keeping doors/curtains closed during the night and opening them during the day to capture heat/sunlight.

Wood Stove Benefits and Maintenance (use seasoned, dry wood to reduce smoke)

Use a Thermoelectric (Heat-Powered) Fan to Improve Wood Stove Heat without AC electric or batteries. Look for a model with a High CFM (cubic feet per minute) and Low Start Temperature. Place the fan as far back on the stove-top as possible to blow across the stove-top surface to heat the area to be warmed.

Make Fire Bricks From Junk Mail: Don't throw away that outdate newspaper or publications or junk mail. Use them to cook or heat the house. Dump waste products (paper, grass clippings, etc.) into a bucket with holes. When the bucket is full of paper, add water to soak and blend to make a paste (like oatmeal) which can then be molded and dried into bricks after squeezing out the excess water. Other Resource.
