What to plan for in Easton
- Drought (relatively moderate): Drought raises fire and heat risk and strains wells. If you rely on a well pump, include it in your backup plan.
- Hurricanes (relatively moderate): Hurricanes can mean a week without power. A standby generator on natural gas or propane, or a battery with solar, beats a stack of gas cans; check flood height before you site equipment.
- Heat waves (relatively moderate): Heat waves strain the grid just when air conditioning matters most. Decide what must stay cool, such as one room, medicine and the fridge, and size backup to that rather than the whole house.
