The Power of Preparation
September is National Preparedness Month! With severe weather events sometimes taking place in Alaska, it makes sense to be prepared in case of a prolonged power outage or other emergency. Having a plan can help reduce stress, anxiety, and lessen the impact of an emergency event.
Here are several practical steps you can take to keep you and your family safe.
-
Assemble a grab-and-go emergency kit that includes water, nonperishable food, flashlights, cash, diapers, phone chargers, and prescription medications.
-
If you have a pet, create an emergency kit for your furry friend that includes shelf safe food and water.
-
Fill your car with gas.
-
Organize your supplies so they are together in an easily accessible location. Make sure all your family members know where this is kept.
Planning for an emergency situation today can give you more confidence to handle severe weather and potential outages in the future. CVEA cares about your safety! Click here to learn more about CVEA’s outage tips!
