In light of the recent surge in electricity prices and consumption rates in Finland, experts are urging citizens to be prepared for potential power outages. Sari Jusslin, chair of the Helsinki regional council of the Women's Voluntary Defence Organization, highlighted that in emergencies, individuals need to rely on available resources and stay calm. The focus should be on how to maintain home warmth as temperatures drop, especially during severe cold spells where electricity may be cut off unexpectedly.

Jusslin recommends starting personal warmth strategies, such as dressing in layers to retain body heat. Following this, keeping the living space warm is critical; sealing windows can help keep cold air outside and preserve existing warmth within the home. These practical steps are essential not only for safety but also for ensuring comfort during what could be a stressful and challenging situation.

As part of Finland’s preparedness day organized by the Finnish Rescue Service, emphasis was placed on the importance of community awareness and individual readiness for crises. These discussions highlight the need for proactive measures regardless of the optimism about electricity availability, as unforeseen circumstances can occur that disrupt everyday life.
