Be Prepared for a Power Outage

Keep at least one flashlight for each household member, a battery-powered radio and extra batteries in an accessible place. During cold weather, have extra clothing layers, warm footwear, hats, gloves, and blankets and/or sleeping bags available. Be prepared to move to a location with power and heat during an extended power outage in extreme cold.
