BACKUP POWER STRATEGIES ARE CRITICAL DURING HURRICANE SEASON

Hurricane Ian gave us the grim reminder that being without power can compound an already-deadly emergency. Once a strategy is created, it must be tested and maintained to be considered reliable in a state of emergency.

“As we are in the peak of hurricane season that seems to worsen year after year and some grids imposing rolling blackouts due to a strain on the grid and to reduce the risk of wildfires, it is more important than ever that we prepare for a loss of power in our buildings.”

When emergency backup power is needed, CHUG provides members with assistance in emergencies so that life-sustaining equipment like oxygen machines can stay online.
