Canada cherishes its great wild lands, but with the growing extremes and frequencies of wildfire seasons come significant challenges. Consequently, planned safety shutdowns by utilities or unplanned failures of the grid result in evolving realities across our provinces. In such events, to have the ability to communicate is not just a matter of mere comfort but rather an important issue of personal and family security. The best guarantee is a reliable home battery backup system that will assure not only the mere basics of home functioning but, more importantly, urgently allow you to power phones and radios to receive warnings and maintain contact with the outside world.
Conventional gas generators create noise, demand the storage of fuel, and are not safe to be used inside because of deadly emissions. This has thus made the Canadian consumer look for options that are quieter and cleaner compared to gas generators.
The Jackery Explorer 600 Plus Portable Power Station bridges that gap, providing efficient and safe portable power to keep your phones and radios running during emergencies.
Securing the Lifeline: The Overriding Importance of Resilience in Communications During a Crisis
