Things To Do


Below is a list of thing that you can do to achieve your goal this month.
Choose at least one, and complete it.

  • Have flashlights ready in an easily accessible place and check batteries in flashlights and radios.
  • Acquire and learn how to safely use a portable generator.
  • Create a power outage plan – decide what you can do before, during and after a power outage to minimize the effect on your household.

 

We count on electricity for heat, food, and medical needs. Many gas appliances even need electricity to run. A power outage is an emergency that often follows another emergency—like a hurricane, tornado, or winter storm. That makes it even more important to be prepared in advance

  • Dayton Hamvention Sunday Roundup

    Hamvention Sunday saw the beginning of the exodus from Hara Arena, but for those who remained, there was still a lot to see.
