How can I help?
Check on your friends and neighbors. Offer assistance when you can. Neighbors may need a ride to shelters or hotels with power, supplies, or other help that you can offer.
Make smart and safe decisions. Many roads have been cleared, but some may still be icy and debris may continue to fall or become hazardous.
If roads are closed, do not try to access them. This puts yourself, first responders, and work crews at risk. This can delay work on the road and may mean first responders won’t be able to reach you.
Be aware sidewalks, paths, and roads may be slippery. Use caution and avoid unnecessary risks.
If you are using generators, practice generator safety and power safety outage safety in general: www.ready.gov/power-outages?fbclid=IwAR13zcEN9GKp79lXEw0M475TilNlmZhOgLYqt47j0D6vKthfEGVpLHGcE-Y#generator
