What Do You Need To Have On Hand During A Power Outage?
Power outages happen. They usually occur during bad weather and aren't such a surprise, but sometimes they happen for other reasons entirely and catch you by surprise.
When an outage happens at your Monroeville home or business, it could be quite a while before the power comes back on, so you'll want to be prepared if you have to go without electricity for any time.
Keep reading to learn more about what you want to have on hand during a power outage.
What Items Are Most Important To Have When A Power Outage Occurs?
Here is a list of the essential items for you to have on hand when a power outage occurs:
- Flashlight(s): Long-lasting flashlights need to be on the top of your list of power outage supplies, and make sure everyone in the home or business knows where they are stored. Keep fresh batteries on hand!
- Water. When the power's out, you'll want to be conservative with your water use and need an ample water supply just in case the outage lasts longer than expected. Some outages can last several days.
- First Aid Kit. You should always have a first aid kit handy. If you already have one, restock it every few months, so you have enough bandages and other first aid equipment at the ready in case of emergency.
- Non-Perishable Foods. Non-perishables and pantry items are essential to have on hand because you'll want to refrain from opening your fridge and freezer to save the cool air. Doing this allows you to keep perishable food from spoiling for as long as possible.
