It seems that our weather is getting a bit wilder at times, and with this, comes the risk or more issues like power cuts, blocked roads etc. One of the best things we can do is to plan ahead, and do some prep in our own homes and neighbourhoods to lessen the stress when things happen. 

Please remember tho - your own safety is paramount and during bad weather it may be dangerous to venture out. Trees may fall. Roads may be flooded. 

Here's our very own KoS Power Cut Checklist ( to insert link to KOS tick list - being worked on just now)
