 Temperatures in California can range from 100 to 120 degrees during the summer months. Extreme heat can often lead to power outages. It's important to be prepared for that and not to rely on that. Watch for heat advisories and excessive heat warnings. Keeping hydrated and staying inside can help prevent personal heat emergencies. When preparing for a power outage, ensure you have an alternate plan for refrigerated medicine and using power-dependent medical devices. Keep generators outdoors and away from windows. And check with local officials about cooling centers near you. When it comes to surviving extreme heat and power outages, it's not about luck. It's about being prepared and having a plan.
