Hurricane Florence is forecast to slam into the East Coast as with winds over 140 mph, bringing with it heavy rains, and unprecedented flooding. Depending on how much infrastructure damage Florence brings, you could be looking at days or even weeks without power. That's why it's vital, before the hurricane hits and you lose power, that you take a few steps to keep yourself and your tech safe. Rather than field every call that comes in, update your voicemail message to let your friends and family know that you're safe. The problem with trying to keep abreast of what's happening while in the middle of a power outage is that all those programs use up a lot of battery power.
