What Should You Do to Prepare for a Long-term Power Outage?

Power outages can happen at any time of the year, but are more common during certain seasons. In many areas, power outages tend to be more frequent during the summer months when demand for electricity is high due to increased use of air conditioning. Power outages can also occur at any time of the year for areas located in severe weather, such as thunderstorms, hurricanes, or winter storms.

As summer approaches, we are getting closer to the season of frequent power outages. Long-term power outages can be a challenge, but with some preparation, you can make them more manageable and minimize losses. AGG has listed some tips that can help you prepare:

Stock up on essentials: Make sure you have enough easily storable food, water and other essentials such as medication.

Emergency kit: Have an emergency kit ready that includes a flashlight, batteries, first aid supplies and a cell phone charger.

Stay informed: Have a battery-powered or hand-cranked radio to keep you up-to-date on the latest situation and any emergency alerts in case of an emergency.

Stay warm/cool: Depending on the season, have extra blankets, warm clothing, or portable fans on hand for extreme temperatures.

Backup power source: Consider investing in a generator set or solar system to provide backup power for essential equipment.

Preserve food: Close refrigerators and freezers whenever possible to preserve food. Consider using coolers filled with ice to store perishable items.

Stay connected: Prepare a secure communication plan to stay in touch with loved ones, neighbors, and emergency services in the event of a communication breakdown.

Secure your home: Consider installing security lighting or cameras to deter potential intruders to keep your house and family safe.

Remember, safety is the number one priority during a power outage. Remain calm, assess the situation, and follow any guidance provided by your local authorities.

Importance of Backup Power Source

In case there are long-term or frequent power outages in your area, it is very beneficial to have a standby generator set.

A backup generator set ensures that your house has a constant supply of power even in the event of a power outage, keeping your essential appliances, lights, and equipment running properly. For businesses, backup generator sets can ensure uninterrupted operations, minimizing downtime and potential financial losses. Best of all, knowing that you have backup power can give you peace of mind, especially in the event of bad weather or other emergencies.
