Steps to take before the next disaster:

  • If you have a generator, keep it in working order. Follow the manufacturer’s storage instructions; make sure you have a supply of gas on hand and know generator safety. Operating a generator indoors or in an attached garage can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, and plugging a generator into an outlet in your home can backfeed electricity into power lines—a serious hazard for repairmen who may be working on or around those lines.
  • Have at least a three-day supply of nonperishable food, potable water, medications, and other necessities.(See Emergency Prep Guide) And filling your bathtub with water before a power outage really does allow you to flush the toilets.
  • Get a battery-powered or wind-up radio. Check WPLR (99.1 FM), WTIC (1080 AM, 93.7 FM), and WLIS (1420). Remember that your car has a radio.
  • Keep cell phones and other battery-powered items charged up before an event. 
  • If you have special needs that require specialized equipment or attention, tell someone trustworthy beforehand, so that they can check on you and assist you in an emergency.
  • Shelter at home if possible. By taking the precautions listed here, you may be able to remain in your home. If not, call 211 for information on open shelters. 
  • If you have an immediate emergency, call 911.
