Be Ready for the Next Storm: Lighting Up Your Emergency Preparedness
Last week, Springfield, MO and the surrounding area was hit hard with severe storms and tornadoes, leaving thousands without power. 💨🌪️ The winds were strong, the lights went out, and many of us were left in the dark. If you were one of the 50,000 people who lost power, you know how important it is to be prepared.
At Daystar Distributing, we're all about keeping our community safe and making sure you’re prepared for whatever comes next. Let’s dive into why emergency lighting is so important and how we can help you get your home or business ready. 🔦
Why You Need Emergency Lighting (It’s Not Just for Power Outages!)
When the storm hits and the power goes out, you need more than just a flashlight. Here’s why emergency lighting is a must:
No More Stumbling in the Dark: When your power goes out, it’s hard to move around safely. Emergency lights guide you to exits and ensure you can see where you're going.
Safety First: If you're a business owner, emergency lights and exit signs aren’t just nice to have—they're a safety requirement. Keep your workers and customers safe, especially during an outage.
Peace of Mind: You won’t be running around looking for batteries or candles. Knowing your emergency lighting is ready gives you one less thing to stress about when storms roll in. 🙌
Simple Steps to Be Prepared with the Right Lighting
Ready to get your home or business prepared? Here’s what you can do now:
1. Install Emergency Lights & Exit Signs 💡
When the power goes out, LED emergency lights automatically turn on, lighting the way to exits. These lights stay on longer than regular flashlights and don’t require any extra effort on your part—just install and forget!
👉 Pro Tip: For businesses, illuminated exit signs are not only safety essentials but also required by law!
2. Check Your Backup Lighting 🔋
How many flashlights do you actually have? Check your backup lights and make sure they’re working! You can even go for battery-operated emergency lights that last longer and are easy to maintain. No more hunting for dead batteries when the lights flicker out!
👉 Bonus: Rechargeable batteries are eco-friendly and save you money in the long run!
3. Think About Solar Lighting for Outdoors 🌞
Although we don’t carry a huge stock of solar products, solar-powered lights for outdoor spaces can be a game-changer during a power outage. Need solar lights for your yard or security? We can help you order them!
👉 Note: Outdoor solar lights are a great way to light up areas when you’re off the grid.
4. Keep Flashlights Handy Everywhere 🔦
Flashlights in the kitchen, bedroom, garage, and even your car can make all the difference when the lights go out. You’ll never regret keeping one nearby!
👉 Tip: Stick with LED flashlights—they last longer and are much brighter.
