SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 2026 - EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR YOUR HOME AND GARDEN PG. 30 (BPT) – California may be known for sunshine, but pow - erful winter storms can bring heavy rain, strong winds, flooding, fallen trees and mudslides—sometimes leaving homes without electricity for hours or even days. When the power goes out, refrigerated food can spoil, communications can be disrupted, and families may lose access to medical equipment, heating, cooling and other essential appliances. El Niño conditions can influence California’s winter weath - er, sometimes contributing to wetter, stormier periods. Regardless of how severe the season becomes, preparing ahead can make it easier to handle unexpected storms and outages. 4 Ways to Prepare for El Niño Season 1. Be ready to evacuate . Keep “go bags” packed with impor - tant documents, medications, chargers, water, food and other essentials in case flooding, mudslides or other emer - gencies require you to leave quickly. 2. Prepare to stay home . Have drinking water, non-perish - able food, medications, flashlights, batteries and first-aid supplies available in case severe weather makes travel difficult. Top Ways to Be More Prepared for El Niño Season Preparing your California home before winter storms arrive can help your family manage heavy rain, strong winds and unexpected power outages. 3. Protect your property. Clear gutters and drains, secure outdoor furniture and inspect trees and branches that could become hazards during high winds. 4. Plan for power outages . Determine which ap - pliances and devices are most important to your household, including refrigerators, phones, Wi-Fi equipment, lights and medical devices. Then con - sider a backup power source capable of meeting those needs. Backup Power Without Gas One alternative to traditional gas generators is Jackery’s Essential Home Backup line of solar gen - erators. Because they don’t burn gasoline, these sys - tems can operate indoors without producing carbon monoxide and don’t require storing or searching for fuel during an emergency. Options include: HomePower 3000: A portable, renter-friendly system with 3,072Wh capacity designed to keep essentials such as refrigerators, Wi-Fi, fans and lights operating dur - ing an outage. Solar Generator 2000 v2: A compact 2,042Wh solution for refrigerators, Wi-Fi, lights and everyday appliances. Solar Generator 5000 Plus: A modular home backup system with 5,040Wh capacity and 7,200W output that can expand to 60kWh for extended backup power. HomePower 3600 Plus: A 3,584Wh system with 3,600W output designed to support larger appliances, including refrigerators, medical devices and air-conditioning units. Jackery solar backup systems can be recharged through compatible solar panels, a wall outlet or vehicle charging source, giving households additional options when grid power is unavailable. Prepare Before the Storm No one knows exactly where California’s most disruptive winter storms will occur. Before severe weather arrives, make sure your household has emergency supplies, an evacuation plan and a strategy for dealing with an extended power outage. A little preparation now can make a major difference when California’s winter weather takes a turn for the worse. Learn more about home backup power options at Jackery. com.
