Summer months bring intense storm systems—and a season of power outages. Do you have a plan in place to navigate a power outage? Are you prepared? In Middle Tennessee, tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, flooding, and extreme weather events can easily knock out power in your home.
Here are a few tips to put you and your family's minds at ease by sharing these helpful preparation and emergency tips.
USE THESE TIPS TO PREPARE FOR A POWER OUTAGE IN YOUR AREA:
1. MAKE AN EMERGENCY KIT An emergency kit should be stocked with basic supplies that you may need in case you're stuck inside or must evacuate the home quickly. Include essential items like flashlights, batteries, food, and water.
2. PREPARE YOUR MEDIA Sign up for notifications from your power company and emergency services to get up-to-date reports as circumstances change. Stock up on alternate charging methods for your phone and any other devices that require power to continue receiving updates.
3. LEARN ABOUT YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY Find out if your area has established emergency plans or designated safe areas for the community.
4. PLAN AHEAD If you know a major storm is approaching, plan ahead. Fill plastic containers with water and place them in your refrigerator/freezer.
5. CREATE A BACK-UP PLAN FOR TECH If you rely on battery-operated or power-dependent equipment, including medical devices, prepare a backup plan. Keep your cell phone fully charged and dim the brightness of your phone and turn off Wi-Fi to save battery life. Also, switch your battery to low power mode under the settings.
6. PREPARE YOUR CAR Gas stations rely on electricity to power their pumps. Keep your car's gas tank full to avoid getting stuck when a power outage strikes.
7. SPREAD THE WORD Start a conversation with your friends and family to ensure everyone is aware of what to do and how to stay in touch during a power outage.
