Get some extra cash — no power means no ATM or credit card transaction. Fill up your car’s gas tank — gas station pumps need power to operate. Stock up on flashlights and batteries. Be sure your electronics are charged up. Find out in advance the locations of any emergency shelters near you. Be prepared, but don’t overly worry. More densely populated areas get their power restored more quickly than outlying rural areas. Repairs to bring 1000 people back online get done before those to restore just a couple of customers.
