Preparing for a Power Outage

Brownsville Energy Authority works hard to keep the power on for our customers, but severe weather can cause outages.  It is important to be prepared for power outages by putting together an emergency kit.  Your kit should include:

• • flashlights
  • necessary medications
  • first aid kit
  • battery operated radio/TV
  • fresh batteries
  • candles and holders
  • matches
  • blankets
  • battery operated clock
  • manual can opener
  • charcoal grill (with charcoal and lighter fluid)
  • non-perishable food
  • bottled drinking water
  • paper plates and plastic utensils

Remember to replenish and renew your supplies periodically to ensure that everything is still usable in the event of an emergency.
