Power outages are a frustrating inconvenience. Whatever the cause, they disrupt our daily lives and leave us temporarily without electricity and the modern conveniences we’ve become accustomed to. And every time we think to ourselves “I’ll be ready next time,” even though we know we’ll immediately forget that promise to ourselves once the hum of the refrigerator is back.
Not this time.
This time, you’ll prepare for power outages and be ready when the next one comes. Follow the steps below to be prepared for the next time and keep the inconvenience to a minimum.
Preparing for power outages is key to your household (and house) staying safe during an emergency. By taking proactive measures and following a power outage preparedness plan, you can mitigate potential risks and navigate challenging situations with ease. Once you have made these preparations and have plans in place, you’ll need to review and update your emergency preparedness plan regularly so that it remains effective with your changing circumstances.
During a power outage, exercise caution and prioritize safety of yourself and others. Use your best judgement about how to do these suggestions safely.
Power outages may be temporary inconveniences, but they can also lead to damage and losses. For example, your food may spoil or your electronics may be damaged. Some homeowners insurance policies provide coverage for some of these possible losses. Review your policy, or ask the VIU by HUB Advisory Team for help understanding your specific coverages so you’re prepared for power outage losses and claims.
The VIU Point is here to help you make sense of it all, so you can confidently compare homeowners insurance quotes and make the best policy decisions.
