BE PREPARED BEFORE SEVERE WEATHER STRIKES This time of year, we tend to see even more storms and showers than usual. Unfortunately, even mild storms can turn severe in an instant so it is important to take every storm seriously. That means being prepared! Preparing for storm conditions before they happen can make all the difference.
Know Where to Go
Check the emergency evacuation routes for your area. Locate any shelters near you or make plans to stay with friends or family, if needed.
Build a Kit
An emergency kit should contain essentials like food, water, batteries, flashlights, toiletries and prescriptions. Seal important documents in plastic to protect from damage.
Make a Plan
Have a family communication plan in place tailored to your family's needs. Consider having alternate means of communication in case cell connections are disrupted.
Stay Informed
Download a weather app on your phone for updates or have a weather radio. Follow our social media pages for updates during storm related outage events.
