How can I prepare for a power outage?

  • Have an emergency kit with flashlights, batteries, water, non-perishable food, and a backup power source for essential medical equipment.
  • Charge your devices and ensure alternative heating or cooling options are available.
  • Consider investing in alternative charging and/or power source, like a generator.
  • If you or a member of your household depends on electric-powered equipment for medical necessity, we strongly encourage to always have alternate plans in place if the power goes out for an extended time. This may include a backup power source, extra medical supplies, or an alternate location until power is restored. We advise consulting with your medical professional for guidance during situations like power outages.
  • In the case of a life-threatening situation, call 911.
