National Preparedness Month with Cheryl Nelson

September is National Preparedness Month and proves to be important every year due to the amount of tragic natural disasters that happen. The wildfires in California, hurricanes in the south, and tornadoes in the central and southern portion of the United States all are disasters that destroy towns, wipe out nature, and displace families.

Coast to Coast’s very own AvaLynn Thuresson had the amazing opportunity to speak with FEMA disaster preparedness instructor, certified broadcast meteorologist, and founder of Preparewithcher.com, Cheryl Nelson.

Nelson says that Ampace Technology’s Andes 1500 Portable Power Station is a top-notch choice that all families should consider buying for their house. The charger is powerful enough to charge 99% of household appliances in a power outage.

As far as insurance goes, it is important to consider if your insurance covers natural disasters. One that Nelson recommends is Recoop Disaster Insurance, the first and only multi-peril disaster insurance that is easy and affordable that pays out up to $25,000 after a declared disaster.

Having backup chargers and a wireless cell phone service is also important. To say connected in an emergency, Wi-Fi calling is a useful tool that most smartphones have for users to stay safe and connected to each other in times where cellular data is out.

The GE LED+ Battery Backup Bulb provides up to five hours of light and comes on immediately when power goes out. The bulb is not only great for your normal lighting fixtures, but is also able to be used as a hand-held flashlight in times of need.
