Prepare for Summer Storms

Prepare a storm kit:
 
- flashlights and extra batteries
- matches and a supply of candles
- battery-powered radio with fresh batteries
- water for drinking and cooking
- a telephone that doesn’t require elec­tricity  to operate
- canned goods and a manual can opener
- first-aid kit and supply of prescription medicine

Have a backup plan if there is home medical equipment that has to be kept going, such as respirators,
ventilators, oxygen concentrators, suction machines or a medication compressor.

BEFORE a storm approaches, Charge cell phones and tablets because they might be the only working devices in the home in a power outage.
