No Power, No Problem

2/4/2022 (Permalink)

No power When power is out, no worries. Make sure to follow the steps below, which can help protect yourself, your family, and your employees.

We live in the Midwest…weather changes on a dime. So, when people say seasons changing, we just go with it. Sometimes, things happened and we aren’t prepared. SERVPRO of the Quad Cities wants to help you be prepared for anything.

As the seasons change, weather changes as well. Mother Nature isn’t nice sometimes. It can be from wind, rain, freezing temperature, freezing rain, thunderstorms, snow…whatever the season and weather are, it’s crucial to be prepared. No matter what weather we are having, there is a potential risk of power outages, some more potential than others.

Power outages disrupt our lives and business; we lose communications, water, and sometimes transportation. No power means no banks, no ATMs, no gas stations, and no shopping. More importantly, if there is no power, power outages can cause food to spoil, water contamination, and disrupt medical devices.

How can you protect yourself, your family, and your employees in the event of a power outage? Follow these steps:

  • Use generators outdoors only and away from windows,
  • Do not use the gas stove to heat your home,
  • Keep freezer and refrigerators closed until power is back on,
  • Have another way to refrigerate medicines and using power-dependent medical devices,
  • Disconnect all appliances and electronics to avoid damage from electrical surges,
  • Go to an alternate location for cooling and heat if you can,
  • Check on your neighbors.
