VOLUNTEER ENERGY RELEASES STATEMENT ON SEVERE WEATHER APPROACHING THE AREA
Strong storms are expected to roll in tonight, potentially causing power outages in our area.
Volunteer Energy Cooperative is closely monitoring the situation and is fully prepared to face any challenges these storms may bring.
In case of a power outage, here are some tips to keep you and your loved ones safe:
· Safety first: If you use a generator, make sure it’s placed outdoors in a well-ventilated area to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.
· Stock up: Have essentials like flashlights, batteries, and cell phones handy.
· Unplug: To prevent damage from power surges when the power comes back on, unplug sensitive electronics.
· Reach out: If you experience an outage, report it to VEC through the SmartHub app or by calling your local office.
