Heavy wet snow or a significant ice accumulation, especially when combined with wind, can cause trees or tree limbs to fall onto power lines. If you see these conditions beginning to develop in your area, prepare immediately for the possibility of a power outage. Particularly if you depend on a well for water, store an ample supply of water for both drinking and sanitary needs to last several days.
If you were affected by the January 2024 severe storms, you can apply for federal disaster assistance.
