Ready, Weather or Not.
We're always hopeful we can avoid weather's wrath. But a damaging storm can hit any time, sometimes with little warning. At PWC, we're always ready. Our emergency plan of operations can be implemented on a moment's notice, in response to any emergency situation – from hurricanes to thunderstorms to winter's ice and snow. As part of this plan, our crews stand ready to swing into action just as soon as it's safe. And they'll work 24/7 to restore services.
We encourage you, too, to be prepared – just in case – for the problems a storm may cause. Here are some valuable reminders: • If someone in your household relies on electrically powered life support, be sure you have an emergency plan.
• Keep emergency supplies on hand (be sure you know right where they are, so you can find them in the dark), if you're storing water, make sure you use clean containers.
• Never touch a downed power line or get out of your car if a line falls on it.
Stop. Think. Put Safety First. 24 UCW AUGUST 17-23, 2011
• Use generators in dry, well ventilated areas and follow safety guidelines to avoid injuries.
• Know where the main turn-offs are for your electric fuse box, water service main and natural gas main. Turn them off if you have to evacuate your home.
