SEPTEMBER IS NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH
Ways to stay ready:
* Stay informed via your electricity provider’s Power Alert Service to receive outage and restoration updates by text, email and phone. Staying informed can help you make decisions and stay connected during severe weather.
* Review and practice your emergency plan: Talk with your family about how you'll communicate during an emergency, where you'll go if evacuation becomes necessary and how you'll safely manage any medical needs for elderly family members and pets.
* Refresh your emergency kit: Check that your emergency kit includes essentials such as water, nonperishable food, flashlights, batteries, medications, mobile device chargers and important documents. Replace expired items and restock supplies as needed. Plan to be ready and prepared.
