If you have a home security alarm system from ADT Security, then you know that even in a power outage you and your family are still protected because of battery backup. Having that backup gives you total peace of mind in a power outage, but what other preparations can you make to ensure that your other needs are attended to?
First and foremost in a power outage is to have good, handy supply of battery operated flashlights. Keep lots of fresh batteries handy, and store a flashlight in every room in your house. Also, having fresh, bottled water on hand will be a blessing you won’t realize until you really need it. Some power outages affect local water supplies, and having your own reserve can be critical to your family’s safety and mental well being.
Additionally, items like a battery operated radio, non-perishable foods, lists of emergency phone numbers, games and puzzles for the little ones, and even an adequate supply of firewood to burn in your fireplace will make getting through a power outage, particularly if it’s a long one, much easier.
