Being prepared for an emergency is essential. On the west coast, people prepare for earthquakes with stock piles of canned food, fresh bottled water, generators, and power supplies for their phones and gadgets.
U.S. residents along the Atlantic Seaboard and Mid-and-Southern North America have to prepare for other natural disasters such as Hurricanes and tropical storms and depressions.
According to the National Hurricane Center, the Atlantic hurricane season is least active in May, while September is the most active. In the Northern Atlantic Ocean, a distinct hurricane season occurs from June 1 to November 30, sharply peaking from late August through September; the season’s climatologically peak of activity occurs around September 10 each season.
After recent hurricanes in Texas, residents found the cell phone towers still worked after a hurricane even when the main power was out for most areas. Therefore, as long as they had power for their Smartphone batteries, they were able to use their phones which can be a life saver during a crisis.
