It doesn’t take a flood, an earthquake, an ice storm, or a tornado to take out the power. On Sunday, July 24, 2016 a fire at an electrical substation rendered over 8500 homes and businesses without power in Davidson and Forsyth Counties, North Carolina. At the time, day time temperatures were in the high 90’s with heat indexes over 100 degrees with no end in sight. Evening temperatures barely dipped into the mid-seventies. In other words, in the midst of a heat wave, 8500 customers were without power. No refrigeration, no air conditioning and those customers with water wells instead of city water were without water on tap.
September is National Preparedness Month and if you haven’t made preparations for a disaster, regardless of the scale, now is the time to get prepared. Prepare yourself, your home, your family, and your co-workers. The wisdom in these preparations is to prepare for a large scale disaster so that you’re covered during a small one. Here is a list to help you get started.
One of the best websites for learning what you will need for every member of your family and how to prepare for a variety of natural disasters is the CDC emergency site: http://emergency.cdc.gov/preparedness/index.asp. The website will help you calculate the necessary amounts of food and water per person. Make checklists, train your spouse and children but, first and foremost, get prepared.
