It is reported that an emergency hotline is to be set up for the use of people who suffer an electricity failure.
Has nobody told the authorities that most people these days use a cordless landline and that the operation of this is entirely dependent on a mains electricity supply?
The people most affected by electricity loss are those most unlikely to possess a mobile phone.
