Be Prepared for Storms

Storms can cause unexpected power outages, so Clark Energy encourages members to be prepared. 

Create an emergency kit with essentials like flashlights, batteries, water, non-perishable food, medications, and a weather radio. Charge devices in advance and have a plan for medical needs.

Storm Preparedness Checklist

Assemble your storm kit prior to the need instead of rushing around when the storm is coming and waiting in long lines for supplies. Rotate your supplies to keep them fresh. The following is a checklist to prepare for extended power outages:

Have Plenty of Food

  1. Keep a 3 to 5 day supply of drinking water in plastic bottles. Plan on at least 1 gallon of water per person, per day.
  2. Store a manual can opener with enough nonperishable foods for 3 to 5 days. Canned meats, tuna and peanut butter are good foods to store. Don't forget to add food for your pet as well.
  3. Conserve water by using paper plates and plastic utensils.
  4. Have a camp stove or grill for outdoor cooking.
