Of course, now that we’re in the 21st century, we’re not limited to the bare essentials. For instance, if you know bad weather is possible, make sure your phones, tablets, laptops, rechargeable flashlights and portable battery chargers are charged.
Beyond hand-held chargers, consider investing in a larger power station from brands like Anker and Jackery, which can charge phones multiple times. Add an uninterruptible power supply, or UPS, to your modem, router, and home office. A UPS battery doesn’t last long, but they’re great at keeping you online when it counts.
