Thanks to the recent snowstorm that ripped through the country, many were without power for a substantial time. That begged the question: How prepared are you for being without power for period of time?

YouGov asked that question but narrowed it to a 24-hour period. Most adults (40%) felt they were ‘somewhat prepared’ and another 24% felt they were ‘not very prepared.’

Those 25 and over felt they were ‘somewhat prepared’ while the under 25 crowd weren’t ‘very prepared.’ In fact 12% of 18-24 year old’s ‘didn’t know.’

55+ were the most prepare of all. 45% said somewhat, 21% very.

What’s your plan? Do you have one in place?
