What to do During a Power Outage

• Report the outage by calling 765-973-7200, Opt#5. Also give information about downed power lines.

• Listen to your radio for updates during large or prolonged outages:

  • WFMG 101.3 FM

  • WHON 930 AM

  • WQLK 96.1 FM

  • WKBV 1490 AM

    
    

• Check the Palladium-Item web site for updates.

• Be careful if you use alternative heat, light and cooking sources that increase the risk of a fire.

• Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed to help prevent cold foods from spoiling.

• If you have a generator, refer to the owner's manual from the manufacturer to make sure you are following the proper guidelines.

• Never connect a portable generator to existing house wiring. It could back feed on power lines -- sending electricity out toward crews causing them serious or fatal injuries.
