Day 4 of “The 7 Sins of Summer Safety” Week: Neglecting to Procure Emergency Power and Lighting
Though we tend, from time to time, to take it for granted, plug-in-power is a very important and substantial part of our lives.
What happens when you go to flick the switch or plug in your favorite appliance and NOTHING HAPPENS? Given the violent summer storms that often take down trees and subsequently the power lines that weave in and around them, and the frequent brown-outs when the sweltering afternoons heat up, black-outs that darken your nights beyond belief, these are the days where your power is not as guaranteed as you might think.
We need a plan. Actually we need a power pack and portable lighting for emergency situations, along with explorations into the great outdoors, to anchor that plan.
First, let’s take a look at a video focused on this very topic.
Today’s tips for portable-personal-power.
1. A portable power pack, I dig Duracell, is a must. Keep it charged and ready to go. Even in your vehicle, portable power is a must. In an emergency situation, if you vehicle battery is dead, you might very well need an alternative power supply to recharge you cell phone and call for help.
2. Keep a headlamp, I carry Princeton Tec, nearby in your kitchen drawer, night stand or glove box. Hands free lightning enables you to have light without having to hold it.
3. Home Land Power and Lighting is one thing. Traveling, visiting relatives or hotel stays are important to remember as well. Many hotels and travel stops, not to mention family members, do not have access to emergency generators. Be prepared wherever you sleep. Personal power is your responsibility.
4. Make a list of things that are “power must-haves” and amend it often. Power to keep medications chilled and effective or power to supply emergency communications. This list is up to you.
5. DON”T rely on candles, firewood or other combustible forms of light. They have an obvious danger that should be avoided if at all possible. If you fall asleep with a power pack or a head lamp, you needn’t worry about starting a fire.
