Be Prepared for the Storms with Energizer giveaway

My daughter just called me and told me that she was under a tornado warning. With her just a few hours away from me we normally get the same weather she sees shortly somewhere behind her. The storm was coming and I needed to prepare. Eventually the storm did come and I was prepared because I had received an weather preparedness pack from the Energizer company. Without it we would have had to run around find a flashlight, make sure the batteries were in the weather radio and make sure we had it all together. With the Weather Preparedness pack from the Energizer company I had everything in the same place and ready to go.



The Energizer company has teamed up with the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) and the American Meteorological Society (AMS) to help prepare families for whatever weather situations spring, summer and hurricane seasons they may see. With my son in law working for the fire department where he works I learned quickly that firemen do not like candles. They are so easy to be knocked off and easily start fires that is why the flashlight is so important to be kept in a location that can be found easily.

A list of items to include in the Emergency Power Kit and have on hand to be prepared for weather situations include:

•Battery-powered radio or crank radio, to keep your family apprised of current weather-related news.
•Plenty of extra batteries. Energizer® Ultimate Lithium and Energizer® MAX® batteries (AA, AAA, C, D and 9-volt) provide long-lasting power before, during and after the storm. Lithium batteries have a long storage life, perform well in extreme temperatures and are perfect for use in LED flashlights and other high-tech devices, while Energizer® MAX® batteries are an ideal power source for standard flashlights and lanterns.
•Flashlight for every member of the family. Use flashlights instead of candles when the power goes out. Energizer® Weatheready™ lights feature long-lasting LED technology. With versatile flashlights and area lights, the Weatheready™line is designed to keep your family out of the dark.
•Battery-powered cell phone charger, to help keep the lines of communication open. Energizer Energi To Go® power packs help keep cell phones charged.
•Extra specialty batteries. Your health is your most important asset. Specialty batteries power critical health devices like hearing aids and blood glucose and blood pressure monitors

To make sure that you are prepared for any situation in addition to the Emergency Power Kit you should have water, non perishable food, medical records, and insurance papers. Visit the Energizer Company here to get even more great tips to be prepared
