Outage Preparedness

Several factors can lead to a loss of electric service, including severe weather, wildlife, trees and equipment failure. It pays to be prepared for extended outage periods.

Prepare Now

Before the Outage

Experiencing a service interruption can be surprising, so knowing how to be prepared and stay safe is important. Don't be caught without essential supplies or rushing to prepare at the last minute.

Gather Emergency Supplies

We suggest keeping some essential items on-hand at all times in the event of a power outage. Those include flashlights and fresh batteries, a battery-powered radio or TV for news updates, bottled water and canned food, medication, emergency phone numbers and portable chargers.

Have a Plan for Everyone

If you are a senior citizen or have an elderly loved one or neighbor, build a support network who can assist in an emergency. Know your options if you or a loved one have a life-threatening condition and need electricity to power a medical device. Include pets and their needs in your plan.

Generator Safety

Portable electric generators should always be operated outdoors and according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Never connect your generator to your home's main electrical panel. Plug appliances directly into the portable generator or have it properly attached to your home’s wiring by a qualified electrician.
