🔌 Power Outage
Power outages can interrupt lighting, communications, heating or cooling, and other everyday services. Depending on the cause, an outage may last from a short period to several days.
Think about: Reliable lighting, backup communication and charging, food and water, medications, and other essentials your household may need while power is unavailable.
Helpful preparedness options:
🌊 Water Supply Disruption
Severe weather, infrastructure problems or local advisories can disrupt access to safe drinking water. Depending on the situation, you may need stored water or an appropriate method of treating water until normal service is restored.
Think about: Having an emergency supply of drinking water, suitable storage containers, and water treatment or filtration products appropriate to the situation. Always follow local public-health or emergency guidance when a water advisory is in effect.
Helpful preparedness options:
🏃 Evacuation
Some emergencies may require you to leave home with little notice. Having essential items organized in advance can make it easier to leave safely and relocate to a hotel, emergency shelter, or the home of family or friends.
Think about: A portable emergency kit, medications, identification and important documents, water, communications, basic first aid, and personal essentials for each member of your household.
