Prepare for Summer Power Outages #WRN #Skywarn

If you lose power, go to a local cooling center to beat the heat.
Prepare to beat the heat this summer. Heatwaves often cause power outages. Be ready in case one affects your neighborhood.

Learning to prepare for power outages this summer is easy. The Ready Campaign offers the following tips:
  • Make sure you have alternative charging methods for your phone or any device that requires power.
  • Learn about the emergency plans in your area. Visit your state’s website to locate the closest cooling center.
  • Build or restock your emergency kit. Include food, water, prescription medicines, flashlight, batteries, hearing aid batteries, cash, copies of important financial documents, and first aid supplies.
  • Be prepared to stay cool if the power is off for a long time. Consider going to a movie theater, shopping mall, or library that has air conditioning.
