Be prepared

Here are some steps you can take to be prepared in case of a power outage:

Prepare an emergency kit that contains flashlights, extra batteries, candles, matches, blankets and a battery-operated radio.
Store a supply of drinking water (especially if you're on a private well) and non-perishable food.
Protect your sensitive equipment, including personal computers, televisions, DVRs, VCRs and stereos, with a surge suppressor.
Call the PowerLine at (360) 992-8000 to report a power outage. Having your accurate phone number in our computer system is the key to PowerLine’s success. Make sure we have your correct phone number.

We found some good emergency preparedness information at other websites and have included a list of links for your use.

There is more information in our Be Prepared brochure which you can download here.
