Power Outages, Pandemics – What Do You Need To Know?

Is your family prepared for a power outage lasting for weeks, months or longer? It is not a matter of “if” – it is a matter of “when.”

Did you know that the United States could experience a long-term national-scale power outage, such as from a cyberattack, solar storm or terrorist strike? The  U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security says that millions of Americans would die if there was a long-term power outage. Millions.

Is your family prepared for a power outage lasting for weeks, months or longer? Is your community prepared?

This session will review the threats to the electric grid, lessons learned from past disasters and what your family and your community can do now to prepare.This event was sponsored by the Souhegan and Derry Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT).

Emergency Checklist from Souhegan CERT

Souhegan Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) has developed an emergency checklist to help your family be prepared for emergencies.

Most disasters we encounter in New England (e.g., hurricanes, ice storms, nor’ easters, etc.) can cause power outages. Additionally, there are numerous hazards that can cause widespread and long-term power outages. If we prepare for long term power outages, we will make our families and our communities more resilient.

Therefore, you want should think about the four survival subjects and how these can be impacted by a power outage:

  1. Food
  2. Water
  3. Shelter
  4. Security

This emergency checklist can help you make back up plans for an emergency. Prepare now – it is too late when the power goes out!
