Be Ready for Power Outages in Southern Trumbull County
4/7/2021 (Permalink)
Spring has Sprung here in Trumbull County! And we all know April showers bring May flowers. Sometimes those showers can bring thunder and lightning. And sometimes the thunder and the lightning can bring an outage in the area. SERVPRO of Southern Trumbull County is here to give some tips in the case the power goes out at your Warren home.
- Be prepared. Get some ice ready in the case you lose power to your refrigerator. Make extra ice, freeze pop bottles, buy a bag or two. These can come handy for your not-so-cold food.
- Think ahead. Know Ohio Edison’s phone number (pssst…it is (800) 633-4766) and buy a little battery-operated radio is you do not already have one.
- Dig your cooler out. You know those pop bottles you froze? The cooler is a great option to put extra meat, cheese, lunchmeat, and drinks in the case the fridge loses power.
- Garage door trouble. Make sure to disconnect the garage door opener in the case the power goes out. Otherwise, you will have to wait until the power goes back on to get your car out.
- Energizer bunny. Make sure to have extra batteries on hand. AA’s AAA’s and 9-volts are all ideal.
- Get creative. Dig some camping supplies out. If you have a portable stove, propane grille, flashlights, lanterns…these can all come in handy. Sometimes a power outage can be fun for the whole family.
- Keep electronics battery life up. Ensure your cell phone is charged. If you have a back-up phone, charging both can be very useful.
