Part 4/5:
If a power outage does occur and residents have access to their utility provider, communication becomes paramount. Luna recommends informing the utility company if there are vulnerable individuals in the household, such as children, the elderly, or those reliant on medical devices. Utility providers often prioritize service restoration based on such factors.
In cases where power is critical for medical devices, residents are reminded to call 911 for emergencies before reaching out to their utility provider. Additionally, for households who haven’t registered their medical needs in advance, contacting the provider upon an outage will allow them to understand the urgency of your situation.
