Protect Your Home. Prepare Your Family.
North Carolina faces hurricanes, ice storms, rolling blackouts, and aging infrastructure. Here's how to be ready — not scared.
Jump to Resilience ChecklistWhat NC Homeowners Face
Understanding the threats is step one. None of this is to scare you — it's to help you prepare before the next event, not during it.
Hurricanes & Tropical Storms
2-4 named storms impact NC annually
Multi-day outages are the norm. Hurricane Florence left 700,000+ NC homes without power for days.
Extreme Heat
Duke Energy rolling blackouts increasing
Summer peak demand strains the grid. Without cooling, heat-related illness risk soars.
Ice Storms & Winter Events
Dec 2022: 500K+ homes lost power
Ice on power lines causes widespread, long-duration outages every 2-3 winters.
Infrastructure Aging
40% of NC grid is 30+ years old
Aging transmission lines and substations mean even average thunderstorms trigger outages.
Your Home Resilience Checklist
Work through these items at your own pace. Even completing two or three dramatically improves your readiness.
Portable Power Station
A 500Wh–1kWh LiFePO4 unit keeps phones, CPAP, Wi-Fi, and a mini-fridge running for 8-24 hours.

A foldable 100W panel recharges your station during the day — indefinite power as long as you have sun.
