Pacific Gas and Electric Company Offers Tips to
Help You Prepare
Disasters can happen without warning. To help keep your family
safe, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) encourages
customers to talk with their families or coworkers and make
emergency plans.
September is National Preparedness Month, and this year the
Federal Emergency Management Agency has a theme - “The life you’ve
built is worth protecting. Prepare for disasters to create a
lasting legacy for you and your family.”
Taking just a little time planning for emergencies today can
make a tremendous difference if a disaster happens at your home or
business, said Angie Gibson, PG&E Vice President of Emergency
Preparedness and Response.
“My team and I focus on preparedness year-round. We believe
firmly that the time spent preparing for emergencies reflects not
only our commitment to the communities we service, but also an
investment in the future. The more prepared we are today, the
faster we can respond when emergencies occur,” Gibson said.
Gibson said these teams, from meteorologists and geologists to
emergency managers and career public safety leaders, work every day
to help PG&E and our customers prepare for wildfires,
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or major storms. She also
encourages customers to check with their local emergency
preparedness experts.
“Visit your County Emergency Services website and understand the
risks and hazards around you,” she said. “This will provide a great
framework to know what you need to be prepared for and how to keep
your family and neighbors safe.”
To help you protect your family, PG&E’s Safety Action Center
offers tips on preparing emergency plans and other ways to keep
your family safe. When preparing your emergency supplies, consider
these tips -
- Have at least one gallon of drinking per day for each person in
your household.
- Keep a supply of non-perishable food that is easy to prepare
without power.
- Make sure you have a non-electric can opener, as well as
utensils ready in case you must leave your home in an
emergency.
- Keep your cell phones charged and consider buying a portable
charging battery for phones and other personal electronic devices
such as laptops.
- Keep a list of necessary medications and prescriptions.
The Ready.Gov website also offers a wide range of emergency
preparedness tools and tips, including ways to prepare your family
to respond before, during and after an emergency.
