We rely on our phones for everything — updates, directions, emergency calls. But with no power, charging is impossible. A dead phone in the middle of an outage doesn’t just leave you disconnected, it leaves you vulnerable. What happens if you can’t call for help when you need it?

Southern California summers aren’t forgiving. When the AC shuts down, indoor temps climb fast. After three days in triple-digit heat, it’s not just uncomfortable — it can put your health and your family’s safety at serious risk. Heat exhaustion and dehydration don’t wait for the power to come back on.

Southern California winters may not bring blizzards, but when the power shuts down, the cold takes over fast. Without heat, indoor temps can plummet overnight. After just a few days in freezing conditions, it’s not just uncomfortable, it’s dangerous. Hypothermia, respiratory risks, and the stress of keeping your family warm don’t wait for the lights to come back on.

Meats, produce, milk, and frozen goods. In a single outage, everything can start to spoil within hours. By day two, you’re tossing $300+ of groceries into the trash — money gone, meals gone, and no way to restock until power is restored.

Blackouts don’t just cause inconvenience, they cost SoCal households thousands of dollars every year. From spoiled food and hotel stays to lost work hours and unexpected repairs, the unanticipated bills pile up fast. And the longer the outage, the higher the costs you incur.
