How can I be prepared for when there is an outage?

SEC suggests that all members are properly prepared before an outage ever takes place.

Build or restock your emergency preparedness kit, which should include a flashlight, batteries, cash, and first aid supplies.
Charge cell phones and battery-powered devices. Make sure you have alternative charging methods for your phone or any device that requires power.
Remember to keep your car's gas tank full as gas stations rely on electricity to power their pumps.
