If you have already checked your breaker and your power is still off, contact your power company to let them know you have no service and ask them when they think power will be restored. This will provide the information to decide if you need to move perishable food items to friends/neighbors who have power, and for making arrangements with family and friends regarding washing clothing, bathing, and cooking.
