October 30, 2022
Let's make it fun to be prepared! In our City, we have planned and unplanned power outages. Is your family prepared if your power is out for a few hours or a few days?
Use this this evening to create a fun and educational Halloween “spooky” tradition to help your family be prepared in case there is a power outage in the future. |
