What is Power Outage?

What Causes Power Outages?

What are the Top Outage Safety Tips?

  • Stay away from the downed power lines, park vehicles in protected areas;

  • Use portable generators outdoors only, well away from open windows and doors;
  • Pack perishable foods into a cooler, keep refrigerator and freezer doors shut as much as possible.
