It’s Time to Prepare
Daylight savings time is a great time to make a few simple efforts to protect you and your family. A little preparation now can make a power outage or other disaster more manageable.
- Turn your clocks back for daylight savings.
- Inspect your smoke detector and change the battery.
- Take a look at your emergency supplies. Kits should have a minimum of 72 hours of food, and water for each member of your family and supplies for pets. Don’t forget medications, flashlights, blankets and radio.
In the event of a natural disaster, severe storm event or other emergency visit olympiawa.gov/beprepared for news and updates.
