This video recommends how you can get organized as a starting point for storm and disaster preparedness. Get additional tips on the co-op's Hurricane Preparedness page.

Plug into savings with this tip!
If you’re looking to add smart technology to your home, consider smart plugs. Smart plugs are inexpensive and can be used to control lighting and other electronic devices through a smart phone app. With smart plugs, you can conveniently manage lighting, home office equipment, video game consoles and more. By powering off unused devices when you’re away, you can save energy (and money!).
