ATLANTA, Sept. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Each year, it seems there are more storms and the storms are more intense, which is why we recognize National Preparedness Month each September. Cheryl Nelson, founder of 'Prepare with Cher' and a meteorologist, has tips for how to prepare for severe weather.
AN IMPORTANT DEVICE THAT CAN HELP US BE PREPARE FOR A DISASTER
When disaster hits, portable generators are a convenient and possibly life-saving tool to keep the family safe during power outages, but can pose risks if not used properly. First, to prepare for hurricane season and keep the family safe, always take a portable generator outside and visit www.takeyourgeneratoroutside.com for important safety information. The Portable Generator Manufacturers' Association or PGMA has important safety tips to ensure safe, proper use of portable generators. To avoid the dangers of invisible, odorless carbon monoxide buildup, always "Take It Outside", which means never running generators indoors, or in garages, basements, crawl spaces, sheds, or other partially enclosed spaces.
SOME BASIC BUT ESSENTIAL SUPPLIES TO KEEP ON HAND
It is important to have an emergency kit on hand with items such as a first-aid kit, water, blanket, flashlight, power bank, spare alkaline batteries and a portable battery charger. Batteries Plus Bulbs can help to weather an emergency with an array of products, for home and business. They carry jump packs, sump pump batteries and generator batteries. It is also important to have un-interruptible power supplies and surge protectors to protect data and keep the family connected during a storm or power outage.
