With heat waves come rolling blackouts. A blackout can happen at anytime and there really is no way to tell how long one will go on. If your Bullhead City home is without power, it is important to be ready.
For blackout details, check with your local utility company. A geographic area is generally the basis of a planned blackout. Plan to go someplace with power if you are sure a blackout is on its way. When your home is without power, going to a movie, shopping mall, friend's house, or even on a vacation are all good choices.
Throughout the scorching summer months, plan ahead with extra food and plenty of water. Keep the refrigerator door shut and have extra ice in the freezer. Food and water for your pets should not be forgotten. Make sure you have plenty of batteries, medical materials, and other personal items. Remember that your cell phone battery could die and networks do get bogged during an emergency.
Most importantly, keep an eye on persons who are most susceptible to heat, particularly, children and the elderly. The earth's rising temperatures mean that heat waves are here to stay, according to weather projections. Start preparing for heat waves today.
