According to Black Hills Energy, there’s a list of preparations that you can make.
You should have a drawer that’s designated to keep batteries and if you haven’t done it yet, it’s a good time to test your flashlights.
Power outages in the Black Hills can last for a couple hours to several days. That’s why it’s important to make sure that your fridge and freezer are closed so that you can maintain the maximum amount of freshness for your groceries for as long as possible.
