Interstate All Battery Offers Tips to Prepare for Hurricane
Hurricane Earl is marching closer to the U.S. East Coast, and hurricane warnings and watches have been issued for residents from the Carolinas to Cape Cod and northward to the coast of Canada. Working radios, flashlights and other battery-operated and power generating items are extremely important for homes and businesses in the event of power loss due to storm conditions.
Interstate All Battery Center encourages residents bracing for the storm to:
-Store commonly used batteries in an easy-to-find place
-Secure a battery-powered or crank-powered weather radio to listen to local news reports. The Red Cross recommends listening before, during and after severe weather.
-FEMA recommends that every family member have a cell phone. Equip each family member with a back-up charger powered by alkaline batteries that can re-charge cell phones and laptops keep families connected during emergencies.
-Keep a water-resistant hand-cranked flashlight on hand, along with a more powerful, battery-powered flashlight. Most Interstate All Battery Centers stock about thirty different flashlights, including models like those used by firefighters and other rescue workers.
-A portable generator or solar power charger can provide enough power to keep refrigerators and air conditioners working in the event of a power outage.
-An inverter can be hooked to your car battery or to a SLI battery and generate enough power to prevent food from spoiling and to power small devices like lamps until electricity is restored.
“We’ve helped countless people and relief organizations power through storms,” Interstate All Battery Director Jim Eades said. “Our All Battery Center franchisees along the east coast are encouraging their neighbors to be sufficiently prepared for the hurricane by adequately stocking up on batteries to power emergency items during this critical time.”
