After a big storm, expect basic services to be disrupted.
Here's what to do in the meantime:
- Call the power company if there are lines down or sparking in your yard.
- If the rest of your neighborhood has power and you don't, call the power
company. But don't expect immediate satisfaction; the power company will
concentrate on restoring power to whole blocks first.
- Pile debris as neatly as possible and as close to the street as you can.
Keep debris from cluttering utility poles. Crews will not be able to make
repairs if their path is impeded.
- Garbage pickup will be delayed. Call your local trash hauler to find out
when pickup will resume. Meanwhile, double-bag all garbage in plastic
bags. Keep the bags in covered containers. Spray the inside of the
containers with insect repellent.
- Your cable TV service will be out as long as you have no power. If cable
service is not restored once power is restored, call your cable company.
