Storms, hurricanes, floods, and tornadoes lead to power outages. And it seems today, it\u2019s happening more than ever. Check out some of the most common mistakes people make before the season starts, so you can easily avoid them and master disaster preparedness.:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

1. Not Storing Enough Water<\/h2>

Think of the number of gallons of water you\u2019d buy to prepare for a hurricane. Now, multiply that by 4! Water is vital, and it\u2019s easily underestimated. While storm severity varies and services like water and power can sometimes resume quickly, you can never be too prepared for major disruptions. From simple needs like drinking and cooking, to less obvious things like bathing and cleaning clothes, you need to stock up on an emergency water supply in preparation for a storm.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

2. Forgetting Emergency Foods<\/h3>\nWhen the power outage strikes, it\u2019s easy to forget your usual microwavable pizza requires, well, a microwave. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to always have a supply of shelf-stable food that will keep you and your family nourished. And just because keeping produce is a challenge doesn\u2019t mean you have to compromise on eating healthy. Try organic varieties of packaged soups, jerky, freeze-dried fruits, nuts, and seeds.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

3. Underestimating the Need for Bright Light<\/h3>\nThe\u00a0Energizer<\/em>\u00ae<\/sub>\u00a0Weatheready\u00ae<\/sub>\u00a0Compact Rechargeable LED Light\u00a0stays plugged in to charge, and turns to battery power when an outage strikes, so it\u2019s always ready when you need it with 3.5 hours of run time.

4. Being Underprepared for Power Outages<\/h3>\nSome power outages last longer than we expect, so don\u2019t skimp on the backup batteries. Reach for reliable brands like\u00a0Energizer<\/em>\u00ae<\/sub>\u00a0Ultimate Lithium\u2122 Batteries, with a shelf life of 20 years*.

5. Overlooking The Radio\n<\/h3>\nEmergency preparedness includes staying connected, but a dead phone battery and Wi-Fi signal can make that challenging. That\u2019s why it\u2019s wise to keep a battery-powered radio as an added source of information. And of course, don\u2019t forget to pair it with long-lasting Energizer\u00ae Batteries.
