Winter Storm Safety Tip

Strong Winter storms can create dangerous situations. Always avoid downed power lines the wire could be live, which could be deadly.

What to Do in an Outage

When fast-moving storms cross Warren Electric Co-op service areas, high winds, lightning, snow, ice and falling trees can cause unpredictable interruptions to your electric service. To ensure that you experience minimal inconvenience if a summer storm does interrupt your electric service, Warren Electric Co-op recommends that you take the following precautionary measures:

Keep a battery-powered radio, flashlight and plenty of fresh batteries on hand where you can find them in the dark.

Avoid using candles, because mishandled or unattended candles could cause a fire at a time when all fire safety resources maybe strained.

Keep a radio or light plugged in and turned on so you will know when the power is restored.

Have some bottled water on hand, because with no power your water supply could stop if you have no power for your well pump.

A fully loaded freezer can keep food cold for 36 to 48 hours if the door remains closed. Refrigerated foods spoil faster and may only be safe if used within a few hours.

If power stays off for more than a few minutes, please call Warren Electric Cooperative toll-free at 1-800-364-8640. For after hours emergency service, call (814) 723-9460.
