Here are some tips to help you prepare and survive during electrical outages in the warm summer months:
- Stay informed. No the electrical companies phone number and report outages and listen for updates. Have a battery operated radio at home with extra batteries on hand.
- Have a cooler for essential foods. This way you can keep the refrigerator close and keep the food that you need to access cool and safe.
- Get a camp stove or use the grill. If you have a lot in the freezer and it’s going to be a long time without power you might want to just invite the neighbors over and grill up as much as possible before it goes bad.
- If you suspect you are going to lose power, be sure to keep your phone charged! Keep the peer cord in while using it.
- If your water doesn’t work without electricity it’s a good practice to fill your clean bathtub with water before every pics door. That way you’ll have water for washing and other necessities without any outages. If you need to flush the toilet just pour a pail of water into the bowl to make it flush.
- Bring your outdoor solar lights inside at night to give you extra lighting and doors. Charge them back up during the day.
