Monthly Reminder

Small steps toward being prepared for an emergency

Do 1 Thing is a 12-month program that makes it easy for you to prepare yourself, your family, and your community for emergencies or disasters.

Do1Thing in October: Power

Be able to safely meet your basic needs during an electrical outage.

Tasks

Have flashlights ready in an easily accessible place and check batteries in flashlights and radios.

When the lights go out, the safest way to provide emergency lighting is with flashlights or battery-powered lanterns.

Acquire and learn how to safely use a portable generator.

Using a properly connected generator of adequate size during a power outage will reduce or almost eliminate the impact a power outage has on your life.

Create a power outage plan and decide what you can do before, during and after a power outage to minimize the effect on your household.
