After an outage, some thermostats reset to Off, and some furnaces lock out. Check the thermostat settings first. Then turn the furnace power switch off for a minute and back on. If the heat still does not come back, call.
Call if the checks do not bring the heat back, especially when the forecast is below freezing. Pipes on outside walls can freeze in a cold house. Open cabinet doors under sinks and keep a faucet dripping while you wait.

Check the thermostat mode and batteries, the breaker, the furnace power switch, and the filter. If none of those help, call.
The thermostat may have reset, or the furnace may have locked out. Resetting the furnace power switch once often clears it. If not, a part may have been damaged.
Open cabinet doors on outside walls, let a faucet drip, and close off unused rooms. Space heaters should be used with care and never left unattended.
