Outage Safety Tips

Damage To Your Home Or Business



Take practical steps to keep you and your loved ones safe during a power outage.







Unplug major appliances to protect them from a power surge when power comes back on.

Leave a light turned on so you know when power is restored.

Refuel heaters, lamps, and generators outside, and stay away from any flames or sparks. Wipe up fuel spills immediately.

Contact us if you're using a generator -- this protects you and our line workers as they work to restore power. Be safe with backup generators.

Never operate lanterns, heaters, or fuel-fired stoves without proper ventilation.

Never burn charcoal indoors. It releases poisonous carbon monoxide.

Avoid downed power lines or sparking equipment.

Never remove debris that's within 10 feet of a power line.

Prevent children from carrying candles or oil lamps.
