季风可以带来大风,严重的雷暴和雨水。随着风暴经常迅速滚动,重要的是要准备好,以防大风暴在大风暴中熄灭。这是在暴风雨季节准备准备的五种方法。

1. Stay informed about outages.

SRP customers have many ways to stay informed during an outage:

2. Create a storm safety kit.

Before the first storm hits, prepare an outage safety kit for your home or business.

在家里,请确保有一个包括以下内容的套件:

  • First-aid kit:Be sure to include your family’s prescription medications. Make sure items in the first-aid kit are in usable condition.
  • Flashlights:Ensure the batteries are good and that you have extra on hand.
  • Battery-powered phone charger:在中断期间,请保持手机充电。
  • 瓶装水:每人至少有1加仑。
  • 冷却器或冰箱:You’ll need these if the outage is lengthy.

If you’re a business owner or operator, we recommend all of the above plus the following:

  • 平面图您的业​​务:Mark the locations of emergency shutoffs for gas, electricity, water, the security alarm and the fire suppression system
  • 紧急电话号码:将这些留在中央位置,使其他人轻松找到。

  • 电池供电的广播或电视:确保您有额外的电池!

不要忘记对您的家庭或企业可能重要的其他必需品。

  • For an extended outage,找到最近的热救站
  • For outages longer than five hours,save and submit your receipts to be reimbursed for up to $10 of the cost of purchasing ice. Send an email to[email protected]并在主题栏中注明“冰块报销”。Be sure to include your name, address and a copy of the receipt.
  • If a generator is used, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and only use it in a well-ventilated area.Never connect it to your building’s wiring

5.如果您在户外活动,请记住重要的风暴安全提示。

While the best way to stay safe during a storm or outage is to stay in your home, here are some tips if you find yourself outdoors during a storm:

  • Minimize driving in an outage area, if possible.如果你必须开车经过停电区域,在所有十字路口都要小心。将交通讯号失效的交叉路口视为四向停车点,行车时应格外小心。在所有铁路交叉路口停车,因为路障可能不起作用。只有当你确定铁轨上没有人时才能继续前进。
  • If you see a downed power line, stay at least 100 feet away.Electricity can travel through the ground. DO NOT touch downed power lines or try to move them. Call 911 to report the locations of downed power lines. SRP, along with area police and fire departments, will respond with urgency to these situations.
  • If a power line hits your car while you are in it, stay inside the car until professional help arrives.如果您的车辆着火并必须离开,请避免同时与车辆和地面接触。从车辆上跳下来,双脚一起着陆。洗牌或跳跃,使双脚彼此接触,直到您距离车辆至少100英尺。这可能有助于防止您的身体成为通电和接地区域或物体之间的地面路径。
  • Do not swim during a storm.Lightning can strike bodies of water.
