Tips to Stay Safe and Warm

To help you get through this weather, here are some tips from Georgia Power: 

Be prepared:
  • Stock up on non-perishable foods, heating fuel and medications.
  • Fill your bathtub and spare containers with water in case your electric water pump or the local water system goes out.
  • Have a flashlight, a battery-powered radio and fresh batteries handy.
If you lose electric service, the following safety tips can help you stay safe:
  • Non-electric, unvented space heaters can be a hazard. Use them only in well-ventilated areas.
  • Cook with a camp stove, fireplace or can of Sterno (cooking fuel). Never use charcoal or other fuels in unventilated areas. 
  • If you use an electric generator, plug appliances directly into it. Never plug a generator directly into your home's electrical wiring. 
  • Disconnect or turn off appliances you were using when the power went off. Leave one light on to tell you when service is restored. 
  • Avoid opening refrigerators or freezers. Food will stay frozen in a fully loaded freezer for 36 to 48 hours if the door is closed. In a half-full freezer, food will keep 24 hours. 
Remember your pets and older family members:
  • Bring all your pets inside.
  • Prepare older family members, friends or neighbors who live alone.
