Do 1 Thing...October is Power Month

Do 1 Thing…Power

The mission of Do 1 Thing is to move individuals, families, organizations, businesses, and communities to prepare for all hazards and become disaster resilient.

THE GOAL: Be able to safely meet your basic needs during an electrical outage.


Do One Thing (choose one thing to do this month)

- Have flashlights ready in an easily accessible place
- Check batteries in flashlights and radios
- Create a power outage checklist and review it with your family
- Learn how to safely use portable generators


Emergency Lighting
When the lights go out, the safest way to provide emergency lighting is with flashlights or battery-powered lanterns. If you must use candles during a power outage, make sure that you use them safely. Keep flashlights with fresh batteries in several places throughout your home and check them for proper operation regularly. Always keep a supply of extra fresh batteries. Consider purchasing a rechargeable flashlight that will always stay charged until ready for use.
