Along with heat waves come rolling blackouts. There isn't any way of knowing how long a blackout will go on and they can occur at anytime. If your Bullhead City home is without power, it is so important to be prepared.
Contact your local utility company for blackout details. A geographic area is generally the basis of a scheduled blackout. Plan on going someplace with power if you know that a blackout is coming up. Going to a movie theater, a shopping mall, the home of a friend, or even on a vacation are all practical choices when your home is without power.
Plan ahead with extra food and plenty of water throughout the scorching summer months. Keep the refrigerator door shut and have extra ice in the freezer. Food and water for your pets mustn't be forgotten. Be sure you have extra batteries, medical materials, and other personal items. Remember that your cell phone battery might die and networks do get bogged during emergencies.
If nothing else, pay attention to individuals who are most susceptible to heat, in particular, children and the elderly. The earth's increasing temperatures mean that heat waves aren't going anywhere, based on climate projections. Today is a good day to start planning for heat waves.
