Being prepared for holiday trips
July 2, 2009
US News features a short but worthwhile
recap of elements for a good personal disaster plan. Naturally, items like extra food and water are important to have around the house, as well as copies of important personal documents. But especially as we approach a long holiday weekend, it's important to consider other measures to take for disaster prevention around the home -- like having working
sump pumps (or, even better,
battery-backup sump pumps). And for those who might be in places where electrical power could take a while to be returned to service,
electrical generators are a good option to consider as well.
