As Hurricane Beryl is set to make landfall early Monday, residents in Texas are being warned to prepare for potential power outages. W. Nim Kidd, the Chief of the Texas Division of Emergency Management, has emphasized the likelihood of power disruptions due to the storm's impact.
Kidd stated, 'There will be power outages. Let that be known. There is going to be some place in Texas that with these tropical and hurricane force winds, we are going to have power outages.' With this clear warning, Texans are urged to take necessary precautions to mitigate the impact of the expected outages.
To ensure readiness, Kidd advised residents to charge all their electronic devices and ensure their vehicles are fueled up. These preparations are crucial as power outages can disrupt communication and transportation during and after the storm.
Furthermore, Kidd highlighted the importance of relocating any family members who are medically dependent on electricity to a safe location. Ensuring the safety and well-being of vulnerable individuals is a top priority as Texas braces for the potential challenges brought by Hurricane Beryl.
As the state prepares for the impending storm, it is essential for residents to heed these warnings and make necessary arrangements to safeguard themselves and their loved ones. Stay informed, stay prepared, and stay safe during this critical time.
