Our area is vulnerable to
wind storms, so it is always a good idea to have emergency supplies available
and to be prepared for power outages.
District 3 offers these suggestions if a wind storm strikes:
- Stay away from downed power
lines. Do not call Lacey Fire District #3 to report a downed power line, unless
it is sparking or spreading fire to nearby structures or trees. This clogs the
9-1-1 system and our staff is not able to fix or repair power lines.
- If loss of power is a
possibility, turn off computers and unplug equipment that might be damaged by
power surges.
- In the case of a power
outage, use extra blankets to stay warm, and make sure you are in a
well-ventilated area if using an alternative heat source.
- Do not run a generator
indoors or use a barbeque or outdoor cooking source for indoor heat. This could
result in carbon monoxide poisoning - and even death. Is this okay?
- Listen to the radio for
updates and instructions.
- Stay inside, away from
windows, skylights and glass doors.
- If injuries occur, give
first aid where appropriate, but do not move a seriously injured person unless
he/she is in danger. Immediately call 9-1-1 for help.
- Use the telephone for
emergencies only.
- Be watchful of trees. Ground
movement or heavy leaning of trees should warn you to evacuate any structure at
risk.
