POWER
WHAT TO DO FIRST
DO THIS NOW
  • Confirm whether the outage is just your home or the wider area.
  • Keep the refrigerator and freezer closed.
  • Unplug sensitive electronics; leave one light on so you know when power returns.
  • Preserve phone battery and charge from backup power only as needed.
  • Power life-safety and medical equipment before comfort loads.
GENERATOR? Run it outdoors, at least 20 ft from doors, windows and vents. Never use one in a home or garage.

WATER
PROTECT YOUR SUPPLY
DO THIS NOW
  • If service may fail, fill clean containers while water is still running.
  • Save safe drinking water first; conserve as soon as supply is uncertain.
  • Short on space? Use collapsible containers and store what reasonably fits.
  • Check local water and boil-water advisories.
  • Include drinking water for pets.
PLAN: 1 gallon/person/day is a planning goal — not an all-or-nothing rule. Store what you can and plan how you would get or treat more.

FOOD
KEEP IT SAFE
DO THIS NOW
  • Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed.
  • Refrigerator: about 4 hours unopened.
  • Full freezer: about 48 hours; half-full: about 24 hours.
  • Use a food thermometer when available; when in doubt, throw it out.
  • Never taste food to decide whether it is safe.
TIP: Protect cold food by opening appliances as little as possible. Use shelf-stable foods without sacrificing the cold first.

FUEL
USE IT SAFELY
DO THIS NOW
  • Check vehicle and generator fuel before conditions worsen.
  • Use fuel only for priority needs; avoid unnecessary trips.
  • Store gasoline only in approved containers and away from living areas.
  • Never refuel a hot or running generator.
  • Never use grills, camp stoves or fuel-burning equipment indoors.
CARBON MONOXIDE KILLS. Keep working CO alarms in your home and fuel-burning equipment outside and away from openings.

COMMUNICATIONS
STAY INFORMED
DO THIS NOW
  • Turn on Low Power Mode and dim your phone screen.
  • Use text messages when calls are congested.
  • Keep a battery/hand-crank radio for official information.
  • Write down key phone numbers and one out-of-area contact.
  • Download offline maps before severe weather or evacuation.
PLAN: Pick a family meeting place and make sure everyone knows how to reconnect if phones or internet stop working.

STAY OR LEAVE
MAKE THE DECISION
DO THIS NOW
  • If officials order an evacuation, leave as directed.
  • Leave for immediate threats such as fire, rising water or an unsafe structure.
  • Ask whether you can safely maintain water, temperature, medical needs and food.
  • Check roads, weather and official alerts before traveling.
  • Know where you will go and how you will take pets and essential medications.
DO NOT WAIT for every condition to become critical. Reassess early if the situation is getting worse or your safe exit may close.
