Back up computer files regularly. And consider buying extra batteries and a DC-to-AC auto adapter if you use a laptop computer. This will allow most laptops (12 volts or less) to
be operated from the cigarette lighter of a vehicle.
Know where to find the nearest flashlight. Store one in each bedroom. And avoid lighting candles, if possible, as they could cause a fire.
Alert your power company to special needs. If somebody
in your home relies on electrical medical equipment, call your power company now to let it know. Your home will be a priority when electricity is being restored.
