With it being National Preparedness Month, Kentucky
Utilities is offering the following tips in an effort to keep you and your
family safe:
Whether at home or work, develop an emergency plan involving
each person at your location so you’ll know how and where to meet, how you will
contact each other and what to do in different situations. Make sure you gather
enough essentials for at least 72 hours and include items such as necessary
medicines, water, nonperishable food, a manual can opener, crank-powered
flashlight, first aid items, spare clothing, phone chargers, battery-operated
radio and extra batteries. Make a kit now — before an emergency and also have
one for your vehicle, include items like jumper cables, flashlights, extra
batteries, first aid items, necessary medicines, nonperishable food, water,
battery-operated radio, cell phone chargers, ice scraper, spare clothing,
flares and blankets.
