What should I do if there is a power outage?

During a power outage, it is important to first ensure personal safety. You should check if your neighbors are also experiencing the outage to determine the extent of the issue. Next, if it is safe to do so, you can look for any possible causes, such as fallen trees or downed power lines, and avoid any hazards associated with them. It is advisable to turn off all major appliances and equipment to prevent damage when the power is restored. You may also want to use flashlights or battery-powered lights instead of candles to reduce the risk of fire. To stay informed, you can listen to emergency radio broadcasts for updates on the outage and estimated restoration times. For specific information regarding the outage, customers can refer to the Potomac Edison website, which often provides updates and estimated restoration times for their service areas. It is always a good idea to familiarize yourself with the resources available on their website for such situations.
