10 Important Storm Safety Tips
- Keep a storm safety kit handy
- Stay inside during thunderstorms and blizzards. Lightning, wind and ice can damage power lines, making them very dangerous. It’s also important to stay off the phone and computer during a storm.
- Use flashlights instead of candles. Using candles during a storm is a big fire hazard.
- Call the power company right away. The more calls they get, the faster they can find and fix the problem.
- Unplug as many big appliances as possible. This will help prevent damage when the power comes back on.
- Do not open the refrigerator or freezer unless you absolutely need to. Keeping the door closed as much as possible will make the food last longer.
- Stay away from portable generators or heaters. This equipment is very dangerous, so stay far away.
- Do not ever try to use a gas appliance to stay warm. Using a gas appliance the wrong way can cause deadly carbon monoxide. Bundle up in layers of clothes instead.
- Stay away from a damaged power line. Even utility workers can’t tell if a power line is energized just by looking at it.
- Watch out for power lines when they’re cleaning up outside. If power lines are running through damaged trees, call the electric company for help.
