CALLING FOR HELP DURING A POWER OUTAGE

9/1/2020

 
Picture
Entergy will be repairing several poles along Highway 20 between noon and four o'clock this afternoon, and many residents in our community will be without power.

We realize that many of our residents have home telephone service through a broadband provider like Spectrum or Vonage, and we want you to be aware that during a power outage, many of these services will not function.

If you are affected by this power outage and you have home phone service through Spectrum or Vonage, please use a mobile phone to call 911 in the event you need any type of emergency assistance.

Please be prepared to give the 911 operator detailed information about your location in order to assist emergency personnel with locating your residence.

If you have any elderly neighbors that are affected by the power outage and you know that they have phone service through a broadband provider like Spectrum or Vonage, please be a kind neighbor and check on them from time to time.

Crews will have one launch bay at Bill Taylor blocked for a few hours on Saturday (the other two launch bays will remain open).
