Storm Preparation

Prepare for a Storm

Sawnee EMC takes pride in the maintenance of its lines; however, there are instances when severe storms damage the lines and cause power outages. We strive to restore power to all of our members in a timely manner. Depending upon the severity of the event, restoration may take longer than normal. There are several things you can do to prepare for such an event.

The National Weather Service, along with the Red Cross, offers winter and severe storm preparedness guides. These guides are useful tools for understanding and dealing with storms. It's a good idea to read these booklets and additional tips before they're needed and make any necessary preparations.
