Emergency Preparedness
Carroll EMC is always concerned about your safety and well-being, but perhaps more so during severe weather. Here are some important electrical-related tips to help you and your family prepare for an approaching storm:
- If someone in your home depends on electric-powered, life-sustaining medical equipment, review your "family" emergency plan for backup power or make arrangements to relocate.
- Before lowering a TV antenna or satellite disk, make sure to turn off and unplug the TV, and avoid power lines.
- Turn your refrigerator and freezer to their coldest settings ahead of time to keep food fresh if a power outage should occur.
- Turn off and unplug any unnecessary electrical equipment, including sensitive electronics.
