Energy Adviser: Have a plan, keep a kit for power outages By Clark Public Utilities Share: In case Southwest Washington residents needed to be reminded, last week’s storm made clear that everyone should have a plan and an emergency kit at the ready to stay safe and relatively comfortable during an extreme weather event. “Every household should have at least three days’ worth of emergency supplies on hand at all times,” said Clark Public Utilities Safety Manager Justin Zucconi. “During a large storm or other emergency event, every trip away from home is a risk. By being ready ahead of time, you minimize your chances to become stranded or caught up in a hazardous situation.”
