Be ready for power outages. With a storm this big, the potential for power outages is high. It could take days or even weeks for all power to be restored. You need to be prepared to survive without electricity.
Make sure batteries and cell phones are fully charged at all times. If you rely on powered medical devices, make sure that you have a backup plan in case you lose power. If you have a generator, only use it away from your home and never run a generator inside a home or garage, or connect it to your home’s electrical system.
Food safety is a big issue during and after a power outage. See the following factsheets for information about how to be safe with food without power.
Stay tuned to local media or online sources for weather updates and listen for information from local authorities on evacuations, local hazards and other important news.
