Winter Heating Season
Excerpt quoted from:
http://www.esfi.org/hs/columns/naps8.html
(NAPS)-To help ensure a safe and warm heating
season, many experts recommend an annual inspection and tune-up of
home heating systems before temperatures begin to
drop.
The Electrical
Safety Foundation International offers the following
tips:
* Have your heating systems
inspected by a qualified service professional at least once a year.
This inspection should include lubrication and cleaning, replacing
filters, a check of belts and thermostats and having vents cleared of
obstructions, as necessary.
* Make sure window air
conditioners do not allow cold air to sneak through or around sides,
top and bottom, putting an extra strain on heating systems and adding
cost for homeowners. Local hardware stores can provide covers and
other easy, low-cost ways to keep that cold air out.
* Caulking around windows and
other openings can stop the cold air invasion dead in its tracks.
Caulking and a caulking gun from your local hardware are inexpensive
and easy to use. A warmer home and lower utility bills can
result.
* Use products only for their
intended purposes. Hair dryers aren't intended to thaw frozen pipes,
dry clothing or warm bedding.
* When using a portable
electric heater, keep flammable materials - bedding, clothing,
draperies, rugs and furniture - at last three feet away even if it has
safety features such as cut-off switches or heating element
guards.
* If you use an electric
blanket to keep warm on a cold night, follow the manufacturers
instructions and make sure you turn it off and unplug it when it's not
in use. Never tuck an electrical blanket in.
For more information, send a 60¢ stamped,
self-addressed No. 10 (business size) envelope to Electrical Safety
Foundation International, 1300 North 17th Street, #1847, Rosslyn, VA

Print this checklist and stay stocked up with

Excerpt quoted from website:
http://freedomcorp.gov/dynamic_shared/includes/printable/dynamic_action.asp?ID=59
There are many steps that individuals and
families can take to prepare themselves and their homes for the
effects of an unforeseen situation, and most of them can be done in a
matter of minutes.
For example, here is a checklist of examples of
how you can prepare yourself for emergencies:
. Check
smoke-alarm batteries: replace alarms more than 10 years
old.
. Prepare a
disaster-supply kit (water, food, flashlights, batteries,
blankets).
. Store hazardous
supplies away from kids and pets; dispose of expired
medicines.
. Make sure you
know where your local fire department, police station, and hospitals
are located and post a list of emergency phone numbers near all
telephones in your home.
. Organize and
practice a family fire drill. Create an emergency plan for your
household, including your pets. Decide where your family will meet if
a disaster does happen - right outside your home in case of a sudden
emergency such as a fire, or outside your neighborhood in case you
can't return home. Ask an out-of-town friend to be your "family
contact" to relay messages.
. Know the terms
used by the National Weather Service. For example, "winter storm
watch" indicates that severe winter weather may affect your area.
"Winter storm warning" indicates that severe weather conditions are
definitely on the way and you should take precautions. "Blizzard
warning" means that snow and strong winds will produce a blinding snow
with deep drifts and life-threatening conditions. Current weather
conditions are listed online at www.nws.noaa.gov.
. Prepare a car
kit with a battery-powered radio and spare batteries (in case your car
radio fails), a flashlight with extra batteries, a first-aid kit with
a manual, an extra blanket, extra clothing and booster
cables.
. Fill out a
home-security inspection checklist and a personal-property checklist
(both are available at www.usaonwatch.org) to make sure you've got
all of your bases covered.
. Locate the
utility controls for your home, and be sure you know how to turn them
off manually: gas, electricity and water.

Protect Your Home Computer
Personal computers and their supplemental
devices
(printers,
modems, etc.) are especially sensitive to
power disturbances. Any power disturbance can
have an
immediate or
long-range effect on both the computer,
the disk drive(s) and the data stored in
them.

Surge Protection Checklist
These tips will help you select a surge

http://www.lipower.org/residential/safety/sens_checklist.html
Excerpt below quoted from :
http://www.portlandgeneral.com/safety_and_outage/
If you have a home computer, it's good idea to
protect
your
equipment.
Here are tips on guarding your computer
equipment
before an
outage strikes.
* Remember to save your files
regularly. Auto-save
back-up
programs will do the work for you and are
available at any computer
store.
* Install a surge protector.
Don't confuse a power
strip with a
surge protector - good surge protectors
(also known as transitory volt suppressors) cost
$35
or more, and
they will protect your computer from
surges that follow any sort of power disturbance.
Get
expert advice
and surge prevention products you can
depend on in our surge protection
section.
* Consider an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS). A
UPS is a battery back-up system that supplies
power
for 10 to 20
minutes - long enough for you to save all
work and shut the computer down. Make sure in
choosing
a UPS that it
is UL-1778 listed, and be aware that you
cannot use a UPS to power a printer or
copier
