May 14, 2019 – LCEC is ready for storm season. Between maintaining our electric system and improving upon our restoration planning year-round, all LCEC employees are ready to jump into action if and when the time comes. Are you and your family ready if a storm rears its dangerous head? There has never been a better time than NOW to prepare. Keep the following in mind when making your plans:
• Make an emergency plan and share with family.
• Know your risk for wind, rain, and floor.
• Know your evacuation zone.
• Put together a disaster supply kit. Visit ready.gov for planning tips.
• Have a backup source of power ready for anyone requiring life-support equipment.
• Get your finances in order.
• Strengthen your home, and trim vegetation. If you cannot safely trim vegetation on your own, contact a licensed professional.
• Help family, neighbors, and coworkers plan.
• Remind everyone you know to stay away from downed power lines!!
