• Have an emergency supply kit that includes an alternative cell phone charger, a manual can opener, cash, a NOAA weather radio, and a warm blanket for each person; • Make a family emergency communication plan; • Keep your car tank at least half full because gas stations rely on electricity to power their pumps; • Put thermometers in your refrigerator and freezer to monitor food temperature; and • Get battery back-up for medical or assistive devices that require power. During a power outage, it is important to remember: • Use only flashlights or emergency lighting, NEVER use candles due to fire hazard; • Conserve your cell phone battery, only use your phone for life-threatening situations; • Put on layers of warm clothing; and • Don't use your oven as a heating source.
