JCP&L Storm Preparation Checklist
Be Prepared
• Keep electronic devices such as cell phones, laptops and tablet computers fully charged.
• Keep a flashlight, portable radio and extra batteries handy.
• Gather extra blankets or a sleeping bag for each person.
• If you have a water well and pump, keep an emergency supply of bottled water and/or fill your bathtub with fresh water.
• Stock an emergency supply of convenience foods that do not require cooking.
Stay Safe
• Never go near downed power lines, but report them immediately to us or your local police or fire department.
• Never use a portable generator inside the house or a closed garage.
• Never use gas stoves, kerosene heaters or other open-flame heat sources to keep warm. These sources of heat can cause deadly carbon monoxide gas to build up in
your home.
