During a Storm

  • Report an outage that may occur during the storm.  Note that you only need to report the outage once.
  • If you lose power, keep your refrigerator doors closed.  You want to maintain coldness of your food as much as possible.
  • Avoid washing clothes or dishes.  This helps prevent overflowing the storm water system.
  • Other Helpful Tips:
    • Do not go outside or drive around.
    • Go to a safe room with few or no windows at the center of the structure.
    • Monitor local broadcast media for updates.
