What to plan for in Clovis
- Drought (relatively high): Drought raises fire and heat risk and strains wells. If you rely on a well pump, include it in your backup plan.
- Winter weather (relatively high): 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.
- Wildfires (relatively moderate): Wildfire risk can mean planned shutoffs and smoke. A battery charged by solar gives quiet backup, and fueled generators need extra care on dry days and clear space around them.
