Staying Powered

Seek medical help for burns larger than your palm or those on the face, hands, or groin.
Family Emergency Planning
Keep devices, Wi-Fi, and essential appliances running with backup power.
Even mid-sized homes can extend backup duration using solutions like Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2.
Home and Document Protection
Secure outdoor items and install storm shutters if possible.
Store important documents (IDs, insurance, medical records) in waterproof containers.
Accessing Aid and Information
Bookmark local government websites and follow official social media pages.
Sign up for emergency alerts to receive evacuation, shelter, and road closure info.
Use non-emergency numbers to avoid overwhelming 911; visit Disaster Recovery Centers or FEMA if eligible.
