Arizona Monsoon Storms and Power Outages

Many people take their electric power for granted.  You walk over to the wall and flip a switch and you have light and power.  Yes, that is the way it normally works.  But every so often and for a period of time from seconds to many hours something stops your power company from bringing their service to you. During an Arizona summer the monsoon storms will cause power outages.

If you are a property manager of an apartment building you will want to keep the following supplies on hand.  You could keep other spares that could loaned to tenants as you see fit.  Coordinate with your maintenance staff.

We normally think of a storm but it can be an accident or mechanical failure that interrupts your electricity.

Having an emergency power outage kit will make getting through this event much easier.  So what should be in your kit?  This list is for power outages of two hours or less.

Light and Power
A box of candles and matches
Flashlights and spare batteries
Camping lantern and fuel
Portable generator

Communication
Portable radio and spare batteries
Fully charged cell phone
Battery powered lap top or tablet computer

Food
Snacks, candy bars and canned goods
Leave refrigerators and freezers closed

Water
Several cases of recently purchased bottled water
Bags of ice

Keep in mind that the local region, season and weather conditions may require items of protection from the elements.
