Weather Alert - Use Caution

⚠️ Weather Alert – Use Caution ⚠️

We are receiving reports of fallen trees and downed powerlines due to extreme weather. Please use caution when driving and when exiting your home if you are near these hazards.

Police and Fire personnel are working to reopen roads and secure affected areas while utilities work to shut off power to impacted lines.

If you see a downed powerline, assume it is live and follow these safety tips.

·  Stay at least 30 feet away from the line and anything touching it.

·  Do not attempt to move the line or objects around it.

·  Avoid driving over or stepping near water that may be energized.

·  If a powerline falls on your vehicle, stay inside until emergency personnel arrive.

·  Call 911 or the utility company to report downed lines immediately.

 

Report dangerous conditions immediately.

Stay safe and avoid unnecessary travel if possible.
