September is National Preparedness Month, a great reminder to take a few simple steps to keep you and your loved ones safe in an emergency.

• Make a plan. Talk with your family about where you will go and how you will stay in touch during an emergency.

• Build an emergency supply kit. Gather supplies like water, non-perishable food, flashlights, batteries, medications and first-aid supplies.

• Stay informed. Sign up for local weather alerts and other important updates. You can also receive timely updates from us.

Are you prepared for severe storms?

ECI encourages members to review a few storm safety basics. Be prepared by building an emergency kit, stay safe with proper use of portable generators and charge phones and other essential devices.

When severe storms roll our way, you can rest easy knowing we’re monitoring conditions and ready to respond to any outage. We encourage you to be prepared, too.

As temperatures continue to climb, keep these extreme heat safety tips in mind. Staying cool and safe is a community effort. If you're looking for ways to manage summer energy use, remember that raising your thermostat a few degrees when you're away and using ceiling fans can help reduce energy costs while keeping your home comfortable.

Let’s stay safe, stay cool and take care of one another this summer.

One of the best ways to protect yourself from online scams is by using strong passwords.

While many people focus on complexity, adding symbols, numbers and capital letters, password length is equally important. A longer password or passphrase is harder for cybercriminals to crack. Create memorable phrases made up of several unrelated words, and avoid using personal information like birthdays or pet names.

Use a unique password for each account and enable multi-factor authentication when possible.
