External Electrical Outlet

I have a external electrical outlet in the front and back patios of my house and neither of them work. What do I need to do to fix this problem?

Any one of these can be tripped. A GFI outlet will have a test and reset button, hit the reset button, if it trips again, then there must be a problem with whatever is plugged into the outlet.
