Power outages are common during the stormy winter months in Raleigh County. Our local team in Beckley wants everyone to be safe during a power outage, and we offer these helpful tips from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for things you can do to stay safe when the power goes out during a storm:

Unplug your appliances. The initial electrical surge can damage your devices when the power comes back on, especially if not plugged into a surge protector. Unplug TVs, computers, and everything else as soon as the power goes out.

Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning. Install carbon monoxide detectors with battery backup in central locations on every level of your home. Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. Generators, camp stoves, or charcoal grills should always be used outdoors and at least 20 feet away from windows. Never use a gas stovetop or oven to heat your home. Turn off or disconnect appliances, equipment, or electronics. Power may return with momentary surges or spikes that can cause damage.
