i doubt it, but want to make sure.

What?

Since most are unlikely to live where you do...

Anyway - whether or not you have surge protection (best would be a Universal
Power Supply (UPS) with Auto Voltage Regulation (AVR) technology) for your
electronics and/or home - my suggestion is to unplug from the wall any
electronic equipment that is important to you and not plug it back in until
you know the maintenance is over with and the power should stay consistent.

Also - I would suggest getting a UPS with AVR technology for each of your
sensitive/expensive electronic devices (Televisions, any computer equipment,
etc). Some equipment may not be able to utilize the battery-backed up
side - but those types of equipment should be fine plugged in elsewhere
(some printers have trouble in this way.)
