Rolling blackouts come with heat waves. A blackout can occur at anytime and there really is no indication of long one will go on. It's necessary to be prepared when the power is shut off in your Lexington home .
Speak with your local utility company for blackout info. A geographic area is generally the basis of a planned blackout. Plan on going somewhere with power if you are sure a blackout is approaching. When your home is without power, going to a movie, shopping mall, friend's house, or even on a vacation are all viable choices.
Plan ahead with extra food and plenty of water throughout the blazing summer months. Leave the refrigerator door shut and have extra ice in the freezer. Do not overlook food and water for your animals. Make sure you have extra batteries, medical materials, and other personal items. Remember that your cell phone battery could die and networks do become bogged during emergencies.
If nothing else, watch individuals who are most vulnerable to heat, particularly, children and the elderly. According to climate projections, the earth's rising temperature means heat waves aren't going anywhere. Today is a great day to start planning for heat waves.
