Along with heat waves come rolling blackouts. There is no way to tell how long a blackout will go on and they can happen at anytime. When the power goes out in your Bullhead City home , it is so important to be ready.
Check with your local utility company for blackout information. A geographic area is oftentimes the basis of a scheduled blackout. Plan on going somewhere with power if you are sure a blackout is coming. Going to a movie theater, a shopping mall, the home of a friend, or even on a vacation are all practical options when your home is without power.
Plan ahead with extra food and plenty of water during the sizzling summer months. Leave the refrigerator door shut and have extra ice in the freezer. Food and water for your pets mustn't be forgotten. Make sure you have extra batteries, medical supplies, and other personal items. Remember that your cell phone battery could die and networks do become bogged during emergencies.
If nothing else, pay attention to folks who are most vulnerable to heat, in particular, children and the elderly. The earth's climbing temperatures mean that heat waves aren't going anywhere, based on weather projections. Today is a good day to begin planning for heat waves.
