Reverse 911- many people have gotten rid of their land line to save money. Register your cell phone for reverse 911 if you don't have a land line. In our community this is done through the sheriff.
Also if your phones are cordless they work off of electricity. Reverse 911 won't work on those phones if your electricity is out. Have an old style phone on hand. Also if your home has a phone system such as mine that is electric. (we have one phone hooked up direct and not linked to the phone system.
Also if you have an electric gate- make sure all family members know how to disengage. Also how to open the garage door in case of power outage.
Also learned something else new. Plasma tv's use as much electricity on as off. If you have a regular tv unplug the plasma if you have been told to reduce electric use.
Just got the dogs new tags. Also important with the 4th tonight to put your dogs inside.
