LO QUE NECESITA SABER

• Indiana Michigan Power’s (I&M) service area is experiencing strong, frequent wind gusts causing power outages.
• As of 8:30 a.m., more than 7,000 customers are without service. Strong wind gusts coupled with ground saturated from recent rainfall could cause trees or limbs to fall into electrical equipment causing an outage.
• As frequent wind gusts of 40-60 mph will continue through the day, crews restoring power could be slowed down. For their safety, bucket trucks cannot operate in these strong winds.
• I&M knows a power outage is never convenient, especially during a work and school day. We are working as quickly and safely to restore power as conditions allow.
• Be aware of your surroundings as we experience high winds. Stay away from downed power lines and anything it may be touching - like a fence. Report any hazard to I&M at 1-800-311-4634 or to local police. Also, look up if you're outside as the ground is wet and a tree or limb could fall at any moment.
• The best way to stay informed is through I&M's app and alerts. The app shows you specific information to you and your outage, and text/email alerts will update you with your estimated restoration time. Customers can download and enroll in alerts aquí.

CONSEJOS DE SEGURIDAD

• Algunos semáforos están apagados. If a stoplight isn’t working, treat it as a stop sign. Take it slow on the road.
• Cuando utilice un generador, conecte todos los electrodomésticos directamente a él. No conecte la salida eléctrica del generador a ningún circuito eléctrico de la casa o del edificio. No utilice generadores de gasolina en espacios total o parcialmente cerrados, como dentro de un garaje o casa.
