Safety Preparedness – Storm Blackout –
Don’t be left in the dark…
Storms can sometimes cut off your power for long periods
of time, leaving you, quite literally, in the dark. But in the dark is the last
place you want you to be!
You See Downed Wires
Treat all downed power lines as if they're live or
carrying electric current. Do not touch or try to move them. It's especially
important to keep children and animals away. Report downed power lines
immediately to 911 or your local electric company emergency line. If a power
line falls across a car that you're in, stay in the car. If you MUST leave it,
jump clear so that no part of your body is touching the car when your feet
touch the ground.
Generator
Some people prepare for the possibility of outages by
installing a standby electric generator to keep lights and appliances or
life-support devices running until service is restored. If you have a
generator, be sure that it's installed safely. If it's not, you risk damaging
your property and endangering the lives of Electric company workers who may be
working on power lines some distance from your home. If someone in your
household uses a life-support device, make plans now for backup power.
Heat
If a major storm arrives during cold weather, your house
will stay warm for a while--even if the power goes out. Your home will stay
warmer if it's well-insulated and free of drafts. Since wood-pellet stoves and
many furnaces need electricity to work, they won't operate during an outage
unless you have a generator. If you have a fireplace, keep an ample supply of
dry firewood in an accessible spot. Burn wood or logs made of newspapers.
Don't burn charcoal indoors; it releases carbon monoxide, an
odorless and sometimes deadly poison. Make sure that any backup heat source
meets all safety requirements and is approved for indoor use.
Radios &
Flashlights
Every home should have battery-powered or hand-crank
radios, flashlights and lanterns, as well as fresh batteries. You can buy
battery-powered lights that plug into a wall socket and come on automatically
during an outage. If you must use candles, be careful and keep them away from
flammable materials, drafts and children.
Water
If your water is pumped electrically and there is enough warning
before a major storm, fill your bathtub and spare containers with water in case
power goes off. You can flush electrically pumped toilets
by pouring a bucket of water into the bowl.
Food
To help prevent food from spoiling, fill used plastic soda
bottles with water and put them in the freezer now. During an extended outage,
transfer the bottles to your refrigerator. If your power goes out, resist the
urge to keep checking inside your freezer or refrigerator. Every time you do,
you let warm air in, which reduces the unit's effectiveness. Adding block ice
to your refrigerator and dry ice to the freezer will keep them cooler. Keep a
supply of canned foods handy in case your power is off for a long time.
Appliance Protection
If your power goes off, unplug or turn off electric space
heaters and stoves, washers, dryers, TVs, microwave ovens, computers,
refrigerators and freezers. Otherwise, when power is restored, several
appliances may come back on at the same time and overload your circuits or hot
appliances may come on while you're away or asleep and pose a fire hazard.
Leave a single lamp on to alert you when power returns. Remember to turn your
appliances back on--one at a time--when conditions return to normal. If brief
outages occur for a few seconds during a storm but power is fully restored
after these short outages, you don't need to turn off your appliances.
If the lights don't go off but continually flicker or dim,
you have a low-voltage condition and should take the outage precautions listed
above. If you only have power in part of your home, first check for tripped
circuit breakers or blown fuses in your electric panel; keep spare fuses of the
correct size on hand. If breakers and fuses are normal, follow the outage
instructions.
Vehicles
Keep your vehicle's fuel tank at least half-full, because
many service stations can't pump gas during an outage. Know how to use the
manual option on electric garage doors.
