Ready for Spring?

How to Prepare for Seasonal Storms

After a series of recent storms, including flooding and tornadoes, it’s clear — preparation is important! Here are some ways you can plan ahead.

Make An Emergency Plan

Outline safe places in your home to shelter during a storm. Ensure everyone knows the plan, including a meet-up point if you get separated.

Pack An Emergency Kit

Stock up on water, nonperishable food, flashlights, batteries, a first-aid kit and medications. Don’t forget copies of important documents.

Secure Backup Power

Consider a generator or battery backup, especially for medical equipment. Ensure it’s installed safely, and understand how it operates before storms hit.

Stay Informed

Use a weather app or NOAA weather radio for alerts. Our Wiregrass Electric mobile app can also notify you of outages and estimate restoration times. Knowledge can be your best defense.

Prepare Your Property

Secure loose outdoor items, and check your home for hazards. Clear gutters and downspouts to prevent water damage.

Stay safe and prepare for the worst — your readiness can make all the difference.
