To protect your computer during a hurricane, the easiest precaution is to unplug it from the power source. If you need to use your computer during the storm, invest in a high-capacity battery backup to shield your device from power surges and ensure uninterrupted use.
Please be aware that leaving your computer plugged in during a storm exposes it to potential electrical damage. It's always a good practice to regularly back up your data!

If a storm reaches a certain level of intensity, there's a possibility that water may enter your home. To take precautions, relocate your computers and electronic devices from the floor to higher areas. We also recommend using sturdy, large trash bags to protect your valuable equipment. Before taking these steps, remember to back up your data! Your computer's safety is only as reliable as your most recent backup.

When looking for a portable phone charger, focus on the mAh (milliamp-hour) rating. This key metric measures the battery's power capacity over time. A higher mAh rating means your charger can keep your devices powered longer, especially during emergencies like hurricanes. Choose a high-capacity charger to minimize the need for frequent recharges, ensuring you stay connected with loved ones when it matters most.

Prepare for the Storm: Freeze Water to Keep Groceries Cold
Before a storm hits, prepare by freezing several empty jugs or containers. Be sure to leave some space at the top to allow the water to expand without breaking the container. If you experience a power outage, place these frozen items in your refrigerator to help keep your food cold. In many cases, this simple step can maintain a safe temperature in your fridge until the power is restored.
Remember, your safety comes first—stay prepared and stay safe!
