September is National Preparedness Month — a great time to take a few simple but important steps to help protect your family and home in the event of an emergency. At North East Power, we care about the safety of the communities we serve, and we’re here to encourage everyone to get prepared before a crisis strikes.
Here are three easy ways to get started:
1️⃣ Make a Plan
Sit down with your family to talk through what to do in different emergency situations. Decide on a meeting place, how you’ll contact one another, and what steps to take if you need to evacuate or shelter in place.
2️⃣ Build an Emergency Kit
Prepare a kit with essentials like bottled water, non-perishable food, flashlights, extra batteries, medications, first-aid supplies, and important documents. Don’t forget pet supplies if you have furry family members!
3️⃣ Stay Informed
Sign up for weather alerts and community notifications to stay up to date during emergencies. You can also follow North East Power on social media and check our website for the latest updates and outage information.
Taking a little time to plan today can make a big difference tomorrow. Let’s stay safe together!
