What to plan for in Deming
- 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.
- 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.
- Lightning (relatively moderate): Lightning causes short outages and damages electronics. Surge protection and a battery that switches over automatically protect the things you care about.
