Chipley residents are no strangers to storms and severe weather. Thunderstorms, strong winds, hurricanes, and tropical storms all can wreak havoc. When these storm systems sweep through Okaloosa County, sometimes residents are left without power. Our local team in Crestview, DeFuniak Springs, and Chipley offers these tips for protecting yourself during a power outage from the Federal Emergency Management Agency:
- Keep freezers and refrigerators closed
- Only use generators outdoors and away from windows
- Do not use a gas stove to heat your home
- Disconnect appliances and electronics to avoid damage from electrical surges
- Use alternate plans for refrigerating medicines or power-dependent medical devices
- If safe, go to an alternate location for heat or cooling
- Check on neighbors
