Preparing for Potential Outages
Put together an outage kit with items that will be useful in other emergency situations as well. Store these items in a water-tight container:
- Bottled water – one gallon per person per day in the household (Most emergency preparedness experts recommend having a three-day supply on hand.)
- Ready-to-eat foods and manual can opener
- Battery-operated radio, clock, flashlights and extra batteries
- Blankets
- First aid kit
