TWO STORMS TARGET GULF COAST: THE TIME TO PREPARE IS NOW
EEI and our member companies are closely monitoring Tropical Storm Laura and Tropical Storm Marco, which are threatening the Gulf Coast of the United States. There is still a great deal of uncertainty about the exact paths of the storms, but electric companies in the storms’ paths are preparing. You should, too.​

Here are steps you can take to get ready now:
​Pay close attention to local weather reports on the radio, television, and Internet.
Visit www.ready.gov to learn how to plan, be prepared, and act in your community.
Review EEI’s hurricane safety tips. For more hurricane safety and preparation tips, visit the National Hurricane Survival Initiative.
Develop an emergency plan that addresses any special medical needs you or your family members have. Call your local emergency management office to discuss necessary arrangements.
Have your emergency outage kit stocked and readily available. Make sure to include masks or face coverings and hand sanitizer.
Know all evacuation routes if you live close to the coast. If you or anyone you know has special needs in case of evacuation, contact your local emergency management office. Find the phone number at www.FEMA.gov.
Be sure to include your pets in your evacuation plan. Not all evacuation shelters and hotels accept pets, so you may need to identify a pet-friendly hotel along your evacuation route.​
Stock up on non-perishable food, water, medications, and any other necessities to avoid the need for travel during a storm. If you live in an area where evacuations may be necessary, be sure to research any changes to local policies that may have been made due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Make sure your contact information is current with your local electric company so you can receive any status or safety updates the company might put out during an emergency. Be sure to follow your electric company on social media for real-time updates.
