Be Prepared for Outages

We have another bleak forecast for the weekend. We're not expecting any emergencies, but this is good info to have.

In any emergency situation, whether it’s a tornado, ice storm, earthquake or flood, you need to be prepared for the possibility of temporary power outages. You need to know where your gas and water shutoff valves are located, how to identify the main electric service panel and how to turn them off in the event of an emergency. An emergency kit is always good to have readily available.

Your “emergency kit” should contain items such as: bottled water, canned food, prescription medicine, flashlight, radio, batteries, manual can opener, first-aid kit, eating utensils. Be prepared. Don’t let an outage catch you off guard.
