 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.
- 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.
