Power Outage Tips

  1. If you see a downed power line or tree branch that has fallen on a power line, always assume it's energized and dangerous. Stay away  and call 1-800-434-1235 24 hours  a day, everyday.
  2. Turn of all appliances that will turn on automatically when power is restored.
  3. Keep a phone that does not require electricity. Cordless phones require electricity and may not work in a power outage.
  4. Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed to prevent food spoilage.
  5. Use caution when using open flames. Do not use a barbeque, camp stove or generator indoors. 
  6. Avoid elevators until the power has been stabilized.
  7. If traffic signals are not working, treat the intersection as a four-way stop and yield to traffic on the right.
  8. In the winter, during a prolonged power outage, prevent your pipes from freezing or busting by draining them and shutting off the main water supply.
