BE PREPARED
Be prepared in case the power goes out to make this time less of an inconvenience. Assemble an emergency outage kit that includes the following items:
• Flashlights and fresh batteries
• Battery-powered radios or televisions
• Candles, matches or lighters
• Water for drinking and cooking
• Portable heater (oil or gas)*
• Blankets
• Camping equipment (sleeping bags, camp stoves, lanterns)
• Canned foods and a manual can opener
• Manufacturer’s instructions for power-operated equipment such as the garage door, generator, etc.
• Games, puzzles and toys to entertain small children
• Your local Duck River EMC office phone number and your account number to report an outage or check on the status of power restoration
