Tips to remember:

- Report outages on SmartHub or by calling 1-800-632-9288

- Do not approach downed power lines or poles. They could still be energized and are dangerous.

- Do not drive through flood waters. Turn around, don't drown.

- Unplug appliances and devices to prevent power surges to them.

- Keep refrigerators and freezers closed to help maintain the temperature.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. We hope everyone stays safe.
