Most circuits have one gif I breaker
It is standard practice to have each circuit in a home daisy-changed. Then the first outlet is equipped with a gfci (ground fault circuit interrupter) or the circuit breaker in the service box is equipped with a gfci breaker. If an improper ground occurs anywhere on the circuit, the gfci trips and all of the outlets and lights on that circuit go off.
You just have to find the outlet that is the first outlet on that circuit and reset it. If it is in the service box you may have to push the bar on the breaker to the left to reset it then push it to the on position.
If you can’t easily reset the gfci, it means you still have a ground fault somewhere on the circuit that has to be corrected. If the circuit has outside outlets and there has been a recent heavy storm, the ground fault could be due to rain filling one of the outside boxes with water.
