Emergency Preparedness Tips

This new column is intended to offer tips for individuals to implement in their own homes during a power outage or other emergency and will complement an island-wide emergency plan. Tip # 1: Choose a container and a spot for that container with supplies that you have designated for an emergency. What supplies might you need first when the power goes off in the middle of the night? A flashlight or a lantern. What no batteries?

If you can grab that container, the flashlight with extra batteries will be there. (For those of you with cell phones, yes, you canuse themas aflashlight, but many of us remember the difficulties encountered recharging phones after this last storm.) So let’s all get prepared and share those ideas. Send your suggestions to the Council at chebeagueislandcouncil@gmail.com .
