Overwhelmed by the thought of preparing your home and family for a natural disaster? Think it's too hard or too expensive? Unsure where to begin?
We want to help.
Join EWEB's Pledge to Prepare, and we will support you every step of the way, with a 12-month blueprint for preparedness, as well as incentives to help you stay on target.
EWEB is encouraging our customers to take an active role in preparedness for yourself, your family and our community by taking the Pledge to Prepare. Each month throughout 2019 we will feature a new set of tasks aimed at getting you more prepared. Share images of you completing the tasks each month with us on social media or email for your chance to win preparedness prizes.
Below is the year-long emergency preparedness plan we will be following in the Pledge to Prepare campaign. Click on a month to download more information and tips, or download a summary of the 12-month plan here.
Do as much as you can! Even if you don't check off every item on the list, each step gets you more prepared. At the end of each month, send us a photo of your prep—the steps you took during the month to increase your preparedness. Everyone who sends in a photo (via email, Facebook, Instagram or Twitter) will be entered in the monthly drawing!
