We work hard to keep the power flowing, but sometimes Mother Nature has other ideas. You might consider having the following supplies handy in case of an outage or emergency:
A flashlight with a supply of fresh batteries
A portable, battery-powered radio so you can keep up with news
A telephone that does not depend on electricity. Cordless phones will not function during an outage
A supply of easy-to-prepare, nonperishable foods. This includes packaged snacks, fruits and bottled water and juices
