“During the workshops, attendees will learn critical hurricane readiness topics, such as storm prep projects, generator safety, sizing generators for specific home or business needs and assembling disaster preparedness kits,” Powers said.

The workshops used to only be held in more storm-prone area moved up north for 2013. Events will be held Saturday at more than 700 Home Deport stores from New England to the Gulf Coast, the company said in a release.

Those looking to attend the workshop are encouraged to save their spot by registering online in advance at workshops.homedepot.com.

During Hurricane Sandy, the Levittown area was among the hardest hit in the state. Bristol Township officials reported that close to 90 percent of residents lost power, some for a week.
