With heavy rains, fierce winds, and a thunderstorm warning on your hands, ABC2 is working for you with a list of items you should keep handy to keep your family safe.

Baltimore Gas and Electric says that people should keep the following items readily available:

  • Flashlights – not candles
  • Fresh batteries 
  • Battery operated clock radio
  • Corded telephone
  • Fully charged cell phone
  • Non-perishable foods

BGE says that people should also consider filling the fuel tanks of their vehicles in the event a power outage affects service to neighborhood gas stations.
