Stanislaus County Emergency Preparedness: stanemergency.org San Joaquin County Emergency Preparedness: sjready.org At HPSJ, we want to make sure you and your family know how to stay healthy and prepared. In 2019, the fire season led to power outages in many areas. If there are power outages or public safety power shutoffs (PSPS), we want to make sure you are prepared. You can do that by follow - ing the steps at right: Staying safe during fire season and power outages Sign up for alerts. Make sure your power company has your current contact information. That way they can warn you about planned power shutoffs. Create a supply kit. Stock it with enough water and nonperishable food to last for a week. Plan on 1 gallon of water per person per day. Be sure to refresh your kit at least once a year. Keep cash on hand. ATMs may not work during a shutoff. Gas up. If you have a car, make sure your tank is full before the power goes off. Stock up on batteries. You’ll need these for things like flashlights and radios. You may need them for medical devices too. Have flashlights handy. Steer clear of candles. They can be a fire hazard. Prep your phones. Find out if your land- line will work without power. If you have a cellphone, keep it charged. Talk with your doctor if needed. Do you depend on a medical device that runs on electricity? Or take a medicine that needs to stay cold? Your doctor can help you prepare.
