94.3 the Wolf Country That'll Make You Howl!
Take steps to prepare for severe weather before it arrives
Severe Weather Awareness Week continues in Kentucky through this Saturday, and with the wide range of conditions Kentucky can be subjected to it is best to make sure you are prepared for severe weather before it arrives.
Radcliff Deputy Fire Marshal Tommy Crane says severe storms may leave you without power or other utilities for a few days, so have supplies on hand.
“Think about having some canned food and a canned opener, if you need that,” Crane said. “Bottled water, at least a gallon per person per day, and don’t forget about your pets either. They need water as well. Batteries, and if you’ve got rechargeable devices, try to keep your phones charged up a decent amount, at least half or more, and invest in maybe a battery pack that you can charge your phone with. There’s some really good ones out there.”
Crane says flashlights and lanterns, battery operated or rechargeable, will likely come in handy.
“We kind of discourage candles just because of the open flame, and things like that can get knocked over easily, but if you use candles, just like we talk about during the holiday seasons, make sure it’s on a nice flat surface, away from where pets or children can knock it down, and at least about three feet away from anything that could catch fire,” Crane said.
When you are out collecting supplies ahead of the storm, don’t forget to stop by the pharmacy.
“Try to keep your medicines a few days ahead, that way if you are stuck at your house or there is a loss of power, you should have a few days of your medicine so you don’t get behind on those,” Crane said.
