Outage safety

  • Downed lines

    Stay at least 35 feet away from fallen wires and anything touching them. Call 911, then your utility.

  • Generators outside only

    Run generators 20+ feet from doors and windows – never in a garage. Carbon monoxide is invisible and deadly.

  • CO alarms

    Keep battery-powered carbon monoxide alarms on every floor. If one sounds, get outside and call 911.

  • Food safety

    Keep fridge and freezer closed: food stays cold about 4 hours in the fridge and up to 48 hours in a full freezer.

  • Unplug electronics

    Unplug appliances to avoid damage from surges when power returns. Leave one light on so you know.

  • Heat & cold

    Dial 211 for the nearest cooling or warming center. Never heat your home with an oven, grill or camp stove.

  • Medical devices

    If you rely on powered medical equipment, register with your utility as a medical-needs customer and have a backup plan.

  • Dark traffic lights

    Treat an intersection with dark signals as an all-way stop.
