What to plan for in Salisbury
- 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.
- Winter weather (relatively moderate): Winter storms and cold snaps combine outages with heating demand. Plan for the furnace blower or heat pump, not just lights, and keep a fuel supply you can reach in snow.
- 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.
