Keep a battery-powered weather radio on hand for emergency alerts.

🔋 Prepare for Possible Power Outages:

Ensure you have a flashlight and extra batteries.
Stock up on bottled water, non-perishable food, and essential medications.

Avoid opening the fridge/freezer to preserve food.

Use candles cautiously—opt for battery-powered lights to prevent fire hazards.
