- Keep your refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible. Use a cooler with ice for items you’ll need during the outage.
- If your water services will be affected, consider filling jugs of water to use for drinking and cooking.
- If you plan to use a generator, remember to use it in a dry area outdoors away from any open windows, doors and vents. Visit the Electrical Safety Authority at esasafe.com for more tips.
