“Winter Power Outage Prep for Seniors”
Storms can cause sudden outages — which can quickly become dangerous for older adults.
Be Prepared (American Red Cross):
• Have an emergency kit with flashlights, a battery radio, warm blankets, and bottled water.
• Keep non-perishable food and medications stocked.
• Store hand warmers in easy-to-find places.
• Know where extra layers and blankets are stored.
• Create a “leave-the-home” plan with contacts listed and evacuation steps written out.
Preparedness = peace of mind. Share this with someone who could use a reminder today. ❄️
