Have Plans In Place...
We're always hopeful we can avoid weather's wrath.
However, if needed, PWC has an aggressive, pro-active
plan of operations in the event of a hurricane, other severe
weather, or emergency situation. Our crews stand ready to swing
into action as soon as it's safe, and we're prepared to work 'round
the clock to restore your service. We also encourage you, too,
to be prepared.
Here are some things
to keep in mind
Plan ahead for all the
members of your family:
- Battery-operated radio
- Flashlight
- Extra batteries
- Water
- Non-perishable foods
- Manual can opener
- Medication
- Cash (ATMs may be down)
- Portable battery charger for cell phones and tablets
- Plastic sheeting, garbage bags, containers with lids
- Change of clothes
• Have an emergency plan for infants, elderly, pets and
those with special needs
• Become familiar with safety tips and emergency
preparation information on our website – select Outage
Central on the PWC home page
• During a power outage, remember to keep your
refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as
possible to maintain the cold temperature. A refrigerator
should keep food cold for about four hours if the door is
kept closed. A full freezer should hold its temperature
for up to 48 hours.
• Be sure PWC has your current phone number so
our emergency system can identify you if you call.
(You can update your contact
information on our website)
To report a power outage or an
emergency (such as a tree limb
on a power line or water main
break), call 1-877-OUR-PWC1.
